2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia Problems

The contact owns a 2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V586000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle hesitated while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact stated that while exiting a gas station, the vehicle shut off with the "Check Engine" and "Service Electronic Throttle Control" messages displayed. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

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.

Check engine light, electronic throttle control warning, and auto start/stop warning lights illuminate intermittently. OBD scan revealed codes P018B and P018D (Fuel Pressure Sensor B Circuit).

The contact owns a 2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia. The contact stated his son was driving at 25 MPH, a pick-up truck vehicle in front of him abruptly depressed their brake pedal, and his vehicle crashed into the rear of the vehicle in front of him. The contact stated that no air bags were deployed in his vehicle. The contact stated that his son sustained a head injury due to the impact of the accident. Medical attention was required. The contact stated that a police report was filed. The vehicle was not drivable from the scene. The vehicle was towed to A & E Auto Body Shop. The contact mentioned the seat belt did not retract. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was filed. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

I was in an accident on 7/25/2024, my vehicle was completely stopped and pulled over. The impact occurred when another vehicle, traveling at around 35 mph or less (the posted speed limit), struck my vehicle with significant force, the rear suspension of my structural frame of my vehicle was severely damaged. Given the intensity of the collision and the resulting damage, I’m concerned that none of my airbags did not deploy, despite the damage being substantial. In light of this information and my vehicle being totaled loss, I have a few additional follow-up questions: 1. Since my vehicle was stationary at the time of impact and the other vehicle was moving at a considerable speed, could the lack of deceleration on my part have influenced the airbag system’s response? How does the system account for impacts where the struck vehicle is at a complete stop?  2. You mentioned that neither the engine compartment nor the structural frame rails were compromised, yet the repair estimate indicates severe damage to the frame. Could there be a discrepancy between the vehicle photos and the actual damage assessed later? 3. Given the nature of the impact and the resulting damage, is it possible that certain sensors related to airbag deployment could have malfunctioned or were unable to accurately measure the severity of the crash? 4. The airbags are designed to deploy based on the severity of a frontal crash and longitudinal deceleration. Can clarification be provided on how side or angular impacts are accounted for in the vehicle’s safety system? Is there any supplemental protection, such as side airbags, that would activate in those types of collisions? 5. Given that the accident involved a side impact, could there be factors related to side-impact protection that should have activated other safety features?  6. Are there additional sensors or mechanisms that monitor the severity of non-frontal impacts?

THE SUNROOF OF MY 2019 ALFA ROMEO GIULIA EXPLODED WHILE WE WERE DRIVING ON I95 IN CONNECTICUT. THERE WERE NO OVERHEAD TREES, OVERPASSES OR CAR AHEAD THAT COULD HAVE KICKED UP ROAD DEBRIS. THE TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND 90 AND HUMID WITH NO CHASE OF RAIN OR HAIL.

EXTERIOR LAMPS (HEADLAMPS/TAIL LAMPS) DO NOT TURN ON WHEN WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE ON. AS BOTH THE EXTERIOR LAMPS AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE USUALLY SET TO AUTOMATICALLY TURN ON AND OFF AS APPROPRIATE (USING DUSK AND RAIN SENSORS), IT'S QUITE PROBABLE THE DRIVER WILL FORGET TO TURN ON THE EXTERIOR LAMPS WHEN THE WIPERS TURN ON, FOR INSTANCE. FURTHERMORE, MOST ALL CARS I HAVE DRIVEN WITH BOTH RAIN SENSORS AND AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS, ACROSS NUMEROUS DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN BRANDS, DO HAVE FUNCTIONALITY WHICH TURNS ON THE EXTERIOR LAMPS (HEADLAMPS/TAIL LAMPS) WHEN WIPERS ARE ACTIVATED, FURTHER COMPLICATING THE ISSUE WITH ALFA ROMEO - IT IS THE DRIVERS EXPECTATION FOR EXTERIOR LAMPS TO TOGGLE ON AND OFF AUTOMATICALLY IN ALL SITUATIONS, BASED ON PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE AND ALSO THE EXPECTATION THAT AUTOMATIC LIGHTS WILL AUTOMATICALLY TURN ON AND OFF WHEN NECESSARY.
