2017 FIAT 500X Trekking 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 9A)
3 of 3 people found this review helpful
To start off, I'm 33 years old and have owned around 20 cars. The longest I've kept one is about a year and a half even when it was a brand or model I was really into. I started doing research on the 500x and decided I really wanted one as it offered everything I desired in a car for not a ton of money and it was packed full of character. I was a little concerned due to the reviews of the 9 speed transmission and the overall stigma surrounding Fiat. My experience has been nothing but positive. In one year of ownership I've put over 17k miles on this car and it hasn't given me any issues. I have the Trekking AWD with every option available including the active safety features. The forward crash mitigation has saved my bacon twice and everything else seems to work pretty well. I've taken the car off road, dealt with stop and go traffic in the dead of summer and long highway commutes and this car stays strong, remains comfortable and does exactly what I need it to without hesitation. The AWD system performs well off road and in the snow. PROS: Far more reliable than people will lead you to believe, comfortable, decent stereo, PACKED full of fun and personality, great interior material quality. CONS: Some build quality issues (feels kind of 'snapped' together instead of one cohesive piece like Japanese cars have), there's occasionally a bit too much vibration at idle, The armrest on the driver's door is too low to comfortably use when driving, infotainment occasionally freezes but is easily reset, MPG should be better but I am getting better than the sticker claims. All in all, I would recommend this car to anyone, I *adore* it. I'm constantly amazing that companies like Land Rover, VW and Ford can pump out cars that are known to be reliability nightmares but people will go in droves to buy them but Fiat has a bad reputation when it seems they're no worse than a typical car.

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.

2017 FIAT 500X Trekking 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 9A)
3 of 4 people found this review helpful
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

2018 FIAT 500X Trekking 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 9A)

I've had this SUV for about 2 years now. I got it pretty new from a used car lot 2018 with only 10,000 miles on it. Unfortunately mine had the current oil burning W80 recall on it and it took about 8 months to just get the part in. I just got that repaired. I had to trade in from a 2016 Abarth, only because the dealership did not have the right tool to reset a certain part that affected the speed. (this is in DFW) Unfortunately, the Fiat-Romero in my area closed down and even trying to get to the nearest one which is in Arlington is a bit of a hassle. But I love my Fiat. And I am happy it's running perfect again. The W80 recall consists of fixing the Long Take Block engine and affects Fiat Trekking's 500X 2012 to 2019. So if your Trekking is burning Fuel at a inconsistently high rate, take it to the nearest Jeep-Dodge-Chrysler-Fiat Dealership. They will need to do a fuel consumption test. You will have to keep refilling the oil about 2.4L every 3k until the new long take block engine comes in. (https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10187101-9999.pdf)

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....
