Used 2018 FIAT 500X Consumer Reviews

Best build fiat

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.

Terrible! Problems from the beginning!

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.

Don't bother!

Stay away from this car! FCA had to buy it back as the BCM (Body control module) could not be programmed. Was a headache dealing with FCA.. Horrible customer service.. I will never purchase ANY vehicle that falls under the title or umbrella of FCA. DO NOT waste your money!

IN LOVE WITH MY CAR!!!

I've only know Fiat's my entire life. My first car that I learned how to drive on was a 2014 FIAT 500 Pop and it was the best little car I have ever had. The only complaint I ever had with it is that sometime my 50 mph was not the same as other cars' 50 mph. I had to upgrade to the 2016 FIAT 500x and I'm absolutely in love with it. I did quite a bit of research on it before purchasing and was prepared for it to be a "rough riding car" as the review said. It certainly does rattle a bit due to the motor mounts holding the engine in place and yes – the automatic transmission does have issues with low power shifts. Other than that, its a fantastic little car that – with time – you learn about its little quirks and can tell when it needs something fixed. 10/10 would recommend!!!
