Used 2016 FIAT 500 Consumer Reviews
Fiat USA is NOT customer friendly!
I bought my Fiat 1 year ago. I love the little car! But Fiat is not customer friendly. On 8/27/2015, my engine blew with 28,000 on the car. It took over a month to get it repaired and back to me. Three days later, I gave it back to the dealer, as it was not fixed. The 2nd engine blew. 3 months later, they gave me my car back. The upper management will not contact me. They continue to tell a CSR my options. 1/3 of my ownership has been in the shop, and they don't care. Buyers look elsewhere if you want support. My case number is 28015096.

FIAT Customer Service is awful
THIS REVIEW IS EXCLUSIVELY FOR FIAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. I had the worst experience with a certified FIAT dealership, LITHIA Dodge in Las Cruces New Mexico, 2 hours away from where I live, for a safety recall on the clutch on my perfectly functioning car. The awful service caused my clutch to fail completely. It left me stranded on the highway miles from home. I had to push it off the road and have it towed to my house. We fought with FIAT to have it towed back, possibly to another dealership, but FIAT instead towed it back to the same one. It took 2 weeks after that to have my car repaired. Two week of calls with no return calls or information from FIAT to know what was going on. We gave them phone numbers and email, but it was my husband and me who had to contact them to get ANY information. The case manager misrepresented some information, that our case was going to be escalated and that never happened. Nobody cared that I lost three days of work without pay and initially they told me that I could rent a car and ask for a "possible" return. The customer service is plain awful. I hate to say it, but I regret buying a FIAT. I used to love my little car, but now I can't trust it anymore.

Nice car except for a couple of things
I test drove the Abarth and the regular 500 C. The Abarth exhaust was too noisy. Too loud a rumble. There should be an option if you want it tuned or not. Was getting on my nerves just on the test drive. The steering wheel does not telescope which is a must. And finally it's hard to believe it's 2016 and these cars don't have rear view cameras. Otherwise nice cars for the money.
