Fuel system reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

The vehicle is subject to Alfa Romeo Safety Recall 93C (NHTSA Campaign 25V586) for a defective Fuel Delivery Module. The safety defect is an active, un-remedied hazard. The vehicle is currently located at [Name of Alfa Romeo Dealership] for an official diagnosis and is available for inspection. The vehicle has an active safety recall for sudden, catastrophic engine stalling at highway speeds due to fuel pump warping. Because the manufacturer has not provided a remedy or a safe alternative transport, I am forced to choose between driving a vehicle with an acknowledged highway-stalling hazard or being completely deprived of my transportation. The vehicle cannot be safely operated in commerce until Recall 93C is performed. The vehicle is currently undergoing inspection by the manufacturer's authorized technicians at the Alfa Romeo dealership. It has also been reviewed administratively through a claim with the National Center for Dispute Settlement (NCDS), which was denied based on mileage despite the active federal safety recall. The vehicle displayed an "Excessive Oil" warning and experienced heavy smoking from the engine bay beginning around June 25, 2026. While the vehicle has also been undergoing cooling system repairs, the presence of these severe engine warnings and thermal symptoms creates an immediate escalation of risk when combined with the active 93C fuel pump recall.

Twice now, my 2019 Giulia, which only has 27,100 miles, has flashed a check engine light and a "flash/lighting" symbol while driving at highway speeds. When this happened, the vehicle's throttle became unresponsive. This resulted in a sudden power loss--the accelerator would not respond to input, which creates a huge safety issue. I had it towed as I did not want to cause an accident. My trusted mechanic ran the diagnostic code (P008a) which indicated low pressure from the fuel pump. This is addressed in recall numbers 93C (Manufacturer) and 25V-586 (NHTSA). However, NHTSA does not show any active recalls for my vehicle VIN. My local dealership indicated this is because Alfa Romeo has not distributed the correct parts to the dealerships. Alfa Romeo customer service said this is incorrect. I am stuck with an unsafe and unreliable vehicle due to the precise recall item that Alfa Romeo says does not apply to my vehicle.

There is an open safety recall on my vehicle since September 2025 with no updates on when a remedy will be available from Stellantis. The issue is that fuel supply to the engine can be cut off causing the vehicle to lose power unexpectedly and go LOMP. I cannot drive the vehicle in this state because it is dangerous if the engine were to cut off unexpectedly at highway speeds, especially since I have a baby. Safety recall information: Issue date: Sep 09, 2025 Manufacturer Recall Number: 93C NHTSA Recall Number: 25V-586 Recall Status: Recall Incomplete, remedy not yet available It is unacceptable that Stellantis have still not provided a remedy or an ETA to fix the problem even after 4 months. My car is sitting idly in the garage and I'm paying hundreds of dollars every month in loan and insurance costs without being able to drive. I have called my dealership several times and they don't have an update from the manufacturer yet either. I would like to make a formal complaint against Stellantis to fix this issue with immediate urgency since it is dangerous to drive the car in its current state and I'm just losing money without being able to use it.

Car suddenly got p018c & p018b codes along with (setc) notification while on freeway and continuously would go in and out of limp mode when accelerating or breaking which nearly caused me to crash. when arriving home I check my fuel pump relay and it looked burnt or overheated, I tried replacing sensors as well as relays but the problem remains whenever accelerating or breaking at low speed now, just without the check engine light.

My car would not accelerate. “Electronic Throttle Warning” and my “auto start stop” lights popped up on dashboard. Dealer claimed it was something else, had me pay and the problem is still occurring. They cannot figure it out I think it’s the recall and they tell me they’re unsure. My car has a recall in which all these things happen with the recall but they keep saying it’s not.

My engine shut off and I was entering my driveway. All the electric was fine. The vehicle would no longer start. I towed it to the dealer and was told that the fuel pump and a module for the fuel pump would have to be replaced. The dealer cannot find the part anywhere because it is on back order. Apparently this is happening a lot. This should be investigated for a safety recall due to it happening while I was driving.

While driving on the highway I got an error alert "Service Electronic Throttle" and my gas pedal stopped working almost immediately. I was fortunate enough to coast to the next exit and pull off in the shoulder. The car would not start. I unplugged the battery and waited 5 minutes. After reconnecting the battery, I was able to drive 4 miles home, and the next day I drove 7 miles to the Alfa dealer. Since I reset the battery in order to start the car, they told me there were no codes visible and they sent me home with the car. I drove for 70 miles until the same issue happened. This time I was on a road with no shoulder but was able to pull off into a parking lot. I tried to reset the battery again to make it home but I was only able to make it about 100 yards down the road and I pulled off into a construction driveway. I reset the battery once last time to make it another 100 yards down the road until I coasted into a parking lot. Each time the gas pedal completely stopped responding and I was left to cruise as far as I could. If the car turns off and won't start again you are not able to put it into neutral and move it to a safe spot. When I brought it to the dealer the second time they gave me an error code of "P008A-00" and replaced the fuel pump. They also told me I should try to always use the same gas station and never drive below a quarter tank of gas. There is a service bulletin for this issue in 2017-2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia's but I have not seen anything yet for 2019. I was very luck in all 4 instances of the gas pedal failing but if it went out while trying to pull across multiple lanes of traffic I could have easily been hit. You can also only make it as far as the car will coast so I could have been stranded in the middle lane on the highway if there was heavier traffic.

WENT TO START COLD CAR IN MORNING, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT CATCH. TRIED FOR A SECOND TIME AND AGAIN, STARTER TURNED OVER FOR 10-15 SECS THEN STOPPED. THINKING IT MAY BE THE BATTERY I EXITED THE CAR TO GET THE JUMP STARTER - AND COULD SMELL GASOLINE. I COULD SEE A GROWING PUDDLE OF GASOLINE ON THE DRIVEWAY UNDER THE FRONT WHEELS AND WHEN I LIFTED THE HOOD THE ENTIRE TOP OF THE ENGINE WAS WET WITH GASOLINE. ALFA DEALERSHIP HAVE DETERMINED IT IS THE EXACT SAME FUEL LINE THAT SPLIT ON THIS SAME VEHICLE IN AUG 2020. SEE NHTSA CASE# 11353843 FOR THE AUGUST INCIDENT. ALFA DEALERSHIP TECH ALSO NOTED THIS IS NOT THE ONLY SPLIT FUEL LINE HE HAS REPLACED WITH EXACT SAME PART NUMBER: 68364747AA. ONCE AGAIN I AM INCREDIBLY LUCKY AND GRATEFUL THAT THIS FUEL LINE SPLIT, LIKE THE FIRST, DID NOT HAPPEN OVER A HOT ENGINE.

(VEHICLE IS 2019 WITH 7404 MILES RECORDED ON DATE OF INCIDENT). MORNING OF 18TH AUG 2020. THE CAR SAT OVERNIGHT SO WAS 'COLD' WHEN I STARTED IT. I IMMEDIATELY SELECTED REVERSE AND BEGAN BACKING UP (EXACT SPEED UNKNOWN, BUT 'SLOW'). APPROX 10 SECS AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE THE VERY STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE ENTERED THE COCKPIT - I IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. EXITING THE VEHICLE I COULD SEE A TRAIL OF FLUID 10 FT LONG ON THE CONCRETE DRIVEWAY AND THE SCENT IDENTIFIED IT AS GASOLINE. I LIFTED THE HOOD & GASOLINE WAS ALL OVER THE TOP OF THE ENGINE AND DRIPPING DOWN OFF THE UNDERSIDE OF THE HOOD. LOOKING CLOSER I COULD SEE POOLS OF GAS HAD COLLECTED ANYWHERE THERE WAS A DEPRESSION IN WHICH LIQUID COULD COLLECT ON & AROUND THE ENGINE. SEVERAL LITERS OF GASOLINE HAD BEEN EJECTED OVER THE ENGINE. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST ALFA SERVICE DEALERSHIP (GOLLING, BLOOMFIELD HILLS). THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED A BROKEN/SPLIT FUEL HOSE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE UNDER WARRANTY. THEY VERBALLY TOLD ME THE PART WAS SENT TO ALFA CORPORATE AND I SHOULD CONTACT THEM TO FOLLOW THE INVESTIGATION. I CONTACTED ALFA CORPORATE AND THROUGH EMAIL EXCHANGES, DISCOVERED THAT ALFA CORPORATE WILL NOT BE INVESTIGATING THIS SAFETY ISSUE AT ALL. I ATTACH ALL THE EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE BELOW. MY VERY SERIOUS CONCERN IS THAT THE DEALERSHIP VERBALLY SAID THEY HAD NO IDEA HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED - "MAYBE A WEAK SPOT" - BUT ALFA CORPORATE WOULD INVESTIGATE. AT THAT POINT I WAS SATISFIED. THEN SEVERAL DAYS LATER ALFA CORPORATE INFORMED ME THAT THE DEALERSHIP GUESS OF "MAYBE A WEAK SPOT" WOULD BE THE OFFICIAL CONCLUSION AND END OF THE INVESTIGATION. I MENTION IT SEVERAL TIMES IN MY (ATTACHED) EMAILS BUT IT IS OBVIOUS THAT I AVOIDED BEING IN A MOVING FIREBALL BY ONLY MINUTES AND MAYBE LUCK. AN INVESTIGATION BY AN ENGINEER IS THE MINIMUM I WOULD EXPECT FROM ALFA CORPORATE.*DT*DT*JB*DT*JB*AS
