Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Service transmission light appears followed by drive mode unavailable. When this happens, the vehicle is basically in neutral. This happened several times while driving, including city streets and on a 65 MPH highway. The only recourse is to immediately pull over (while drifting) and turn the car off and on several times until the display clears. Fiat service updated vehicle control modules to no avail. Tcm was replaced to no avail.”
