I can't tell you how disappointed I am with this car. I was so excited to get it. It looks cool and has a lot of nice features, but quality-wise, it is very poor. Road noise is excessive, I am on my 3rd sunroof so far in the first year due to it being loose and rocking and rattling in the roof. I am on my 2nd air conditioner unit due to it smelling like mold. I think water somehow gets into the system and molds in there, so when it is turned on, it smells like mold/mildew. It is a fun car to drive, but the seats are pretty hard, so it is terrible for long road trips. My old van was so much more comfortable. I tried to get the lemon law on this car but Chrysler basically denied any problems. I have had this car in the dealer at least 2 1/2 months of the time I've had it. Too bad I bought it rather than leased it. Now I am stuck with this lemon. I would stay far far away from this car and Chrysler in general-they are the worst!

Where should I begin? I purchased a FIAT 500L in 2012. The car was a disaster. I took it to the dealership many times. The last thing that did was to stop in the middle of the highway. When I brought it for service. Guess what had happened? the clutch BURNED. BURNED!!!! YES. Brand new car and the clutch burned. I freaked out in the middle of the highway. I had to get out and the next day I took it immediately to Rick Case FIAT. They had to give me a rental because the car was unsafe to drive. Well.. maybe I should've thought about it more carefully, but I loved the look of the FIAT so much that I decided to get a new FIAT instead. Because the other one ... well you know what happened. The clutch BURNED. So I decided to lease a 500X thinking it was a "much better" version of the old one and thinking this one was not going to have any problems at all. Well....WRONG! I leased this car on September of 2015. I had taken this car about 5-6 times already. The last 3 times for the same exact reason. The car is simply unsafe to drive. I do not feel safe in that car. I am scared of driving it and for something bad to happen to me. I will NEVER purchase a FIAT EVER again. I am so disappointed, upset, and simply can't believe how awful my experience has been with FIAT.

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!
