2016 500x fiat engine locked

I got this car after trading in my Nissan Maxima. Dealer said it was a great car reliable good on gas so forth. After having a car for less than 6 weeks the car completely shut off on the interstate. The brake locked car would not start. Take it to the dealership dealership has a minute to diagnose it. They tried to say it was an electrical problem. And truth I don't think they know. Now they're saying the engine has locked up. No problems with car until I had an oil change. If I were you I would not get this car. This car needs to be recalled. It is a safety hazard to anyone and their family. It will shut off at high speeds. Will not start and horrible weather. What's even worse is Chrysler will not own up to the fact that this is not a great car this car is deadly. I almost lost my life. Sat in 90 degree weather until a tow truck came to get me and the car. Was not even offered a rental car. Please do yourself a favor and do not get this car.

I’ve had this car for 4 years with no issues. More fun & more style. I don't miss my CRV at all. I live in Chicago so 4x4 is required and my 500x stands out from all the other SUVs that all seem to look the same. The Uconnect system is easy to use with great features. Love the quality of the leather interior (10 times better quality than the Honda) and all the hi tech safety features. This car has a personality - love it!

I bought this car in December 2015 , 2016 fiat 500x , a month later my nightmare started, I can’t not count how many times my car is being at the dealer , always is a new problem , electrical problems , motor mount are awful, air conditioning, it was one time my car was at the dealer for two month , ah counting also every time with a rental car , I’m very upset and sad with my car , it was the worst purchase ever, I do not recommend it ,they devalued so bad , I did call fiat to get an advise and see how can I get rid off my car and they told me will be something that I have to resolve with the dealer, I went back to the dealer and they didn’t help me at all, I’m desperate with this car , paying every month for something that I know is a piece of garbage!

Stay away. My car has had issues since the beginning. Constantly has issues with the electrical system that make it undriveable. Fiat was unable to fix it even while new and under warranty. Avoid Fiat. They do not stand behind their vehicles, and the quality just isn't there unfortunately.
