Decided to lease the vehicle in December of 2016, the car had engine lights come on and had to be towed within 24hrs of getting it home, I was told there was a bad sensor in my side view mirror. About 2 months later, I was driving with my kids on the highway and a “drive mode unavailable” warning came on. I was left stranded on the highway with 2 small children in a new car. They came and towed it, I never got a clear answer for the problem. I told them to check the transmission, which they said was “fine”. They returned the car to me with the warning light off over a week later with the transmission worse than ever. It is not fine, the jerking that occurs from the stop position to first gear is horrible, it is like driving in a manual trasmission car with someone learning how to shift. I have a neck injury, and some days driving this car is like torture. I have owned other Chrysler family vehicles in the past with no issues, I never dreamed I would be this disappointed. I travel for work and drive rental cars three weeks a month, and I don’t see this problem with other manufacturers. Also, don’t expect help from ANY other dealerships in the Chrysler family of you are having troubles, they like to defer you to only Fiat dealerships which are few and far between.

What an Unreliable Piece of Junk

This cute car is a worthless hunk of junk. For three of the past four weeks, it’s been at the dealership for service. They say they don’t know what’s wrong with it, but it keeps dying. FCA is aware of the issues with this car, but they refuse to do anything.

I loved my Fiat 500x Trekking car. I had it for nearly three years but a deer met its fate and totaled the car. This car was fun and zippy. Parking was a breeze, gas mileage was awesome, reliable, and nice ride. The bad part as the car does not hold it’s value. I recently got a new car but not another Fiat. It was fun while it lasted.

We had the pleasure of moving to a metro area. We’ve had many suburbans in Tahoe’s and larger SUVs. Including Jeep grand Cherokee’s. We love those vehicles. But I love the fear. In one of the worst blizzards I’ve seen in the Midwest the Fiat 500 X handled better than anything else I’ve ever driven except a Subaru outback. The interstate was closed 20 minutes after I went down at passing vehicle safely. I’ve never felt more solid in the vehicle. It’s like a cute jellybean with all wheel drive. The front seats are incredibly comfortable and luxurious. However, there’s minimal legroom in the Backseat. The finish is nice and the steering wheel is incredibly comfortable. The motor is a little week for acceleration but does the job in the city. It’s it’s much higher than you think. Compared to its sibling the jeep renegade it’s a much more luxurious and cute car with greater personality. The ride is better due to the difference in suspensions. Because usually get about five to $7000 off the sticker price it’s a great value. I’ll buy another one again once they offer adaptive cruise control

MY NIGHTMARE

Make sure when it spends time in the shop (WHICH IS OFTEN) the STEALERSHIP gives you the same car to drive not a billboard to advertise for them. I purchased a NEW 2017 FIAT 500x Trekking car on 01/17/2019 from Peake Chrysler in Sodus NY 14551. By 01/21/2019 the FIAT is at the dealership with no heat... They ordered a part for 01/22/2019 replaced it and it’s still not working right, now they tell me they have to order another part which is due in on 01/23/2019 and their not sure that’s going to work. What to do ??? I'm about to take the plates off it and bring back the key and tell them to keep it... The car has 349 miles on it and so far it’s been at the STEALERSHIP as long as I’ve owned it....
