Used 2017 FIAT 500X Consumer Reviews

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.

Traded in a Honda

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!

Worst car ever!

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!

Unbelievable amount of issues

Let's see where to start, the car was completely fine until about 35,000 MI. Then the engine had to be replaced due to a recall because it was burning through oil. Then the front axle just fell off, got it back for a week then had a drive mode unavailable issue. It wouldn't shift take it back to the dealer $900 computer part fix. Week later same error is popping up and we have to take it back to the dealer. Not to mention the front door handle just falling randomly off. The car still doesn't even have 50,000 miles, stay away from Fiats I would never recommend one. Update at 60k miles: so when they replaced the engine it seems like they didn't do a proper job of securing it so all the engine mounts went bad, engine mounts are very cheap but the dealer refused to take responsibility and the labor on taking the engine out ended up costing us like another $900. These engine mounts magically went bad nine months after they replaced the engine, they claim that they weren't bad when they checked it. There's no way engine mounts went from 100% fine to busted in less than 7,000 mi and 9 months. Also, now the trunk latch doesn't work anymore the rubber popper fell out along with the switch that makes the connection to move the trunk, there is no interior release or a way to do it from the key fob so the trunk just will not open anymore. It's about a $500 repair if you take it in or if you buy the whole assembly for the Chrome bit in the back like $200.
