What an Unreliable Piece of Junk

2017 FIAT 500X Trekking 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 9A)

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

Love Fiat

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....
