Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2022 Alfa Romeo Giulia, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

Each component in detail
What the reports in each category say, in the owners' own words
Electrical
Reports naming the electrical system — wiring, battery, charging, control modules, infotainment and electrical accessories.
From owner reports, verbatim
The vehicle intermittently fails to start or stop when using the Start/Stop push button. This is a critical safety concern. If the vehicle cannot be reliably started or stopped, and its ignition system operates unpredictably, it may fail during use, in traffic, or fail to respond in emergency scenarios. The issue appears electrical/software-related and is not resolved after multiple service attempts and over 45 days out of service.
Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.
Engine
Reports naming the engine itself — including stalling, misfires, oil consumption, cooling and internal engine components.
From owner reports, verbatim
Sensor went off that Electronic Throttle Control needs service. Engine shut off and went into safety mode while on the road and in traffic. Could have resulted in collision. Took car in for service.

Other / unspecified
Reports whose component NHTSA recorded as unknown, or that do not map to one of the categories above.
From owner reports, verbatim
I had my rear-right and front-left rims crack (OEM wheels) in the same spot about 3 months apart. Once, it happened in July of 2025, and once it happened in October of 2025. I initially got the first wheel that cracked welded (rear-right), but I ended up having to get new wheels after the second one cracked because I could not trust their integrity. I made this purchase in the interest of my own safety.

Powertrain (other)
Powertrain reports that are not specifically the engine or transmission — driveshafts, axles, transfer cases and differentials.
From owner reports, verbatim
The vehicle intermittently fails to start or stop when using the Start/Stop push button. This is a critical safety concern. If the vehicle cannot be reliably started or stopped, and its ignition system operates unpredictably, it may fail during use, in traffic, or fail to respond in emergency scenarios.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
