Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving my Fiat 500X, it jerks when it's shifting gears or accelerating. I took it into the dealership and there was a bulletin concerning the transmission I believe. But whatever update was done, it did not take care of the problem. I've looked for info regarding this issue and have found there are several other people having the same problem.”
NHTSA complaint #11309789, filed 2020-02, 40,000 miles“Car will randomly turn itself off while driving. This has happened 3 times (I currently have just over 70k miles on the car). There are also electrical issues (seizure warning should come with this car- the touch screen radio will turn itself off and on continuously while driving). As with most other complaints, my drivers side door handle came off as well.”
NHTSA complaint #11362373, filed 2020-10, 60,000 miles“My power sunroof glass exploded and shattered while I was driving on a city road. Nothing struck the sunroof, there were no other cars around, the road was clear as was the weather.”
NHTSA complaint #11387140, filed 2021-01, 74,300 miles“Fiat 500X 2016 turns off. No warning, while in motion on a city street. Multiple times, low speed (20 MPH) and higher speed (45 MPH). Dealership told me it was because I needed to change my oil.”
NHTSA complaint #11166676, filed 2019-01, 30,000 miles“I received the error message drive mode unavailable with a service engine message after my last regular service appointment and oil change. My car is at 27,400 miles and after throwing that code barely could make it up a residential hill. After the local service department claimed to have fixed it, 3 miles down the road the message popped up again and driving was difficult. My local dealership has had my Fiat 500X now the second time since december 1st with no updates for me.”
