It all started went for routine oil change 2018 alfa romeo stelvio at alfa dealer ship. Drove off car was shaking called dealership ask to return same day the car shaking again engine light throttle and other lights lit up like Christmas tree Was told oil system issue. After completed the car never drove the same the engine throttle light never turned off and the on and off start button stop working. I've been to dealership many times all bad experiences after routine oil. I don't drive the car much because I'm afraid the car will stall or I'm going to crash due to no engine power. Nearly crashed onto a family head on multiple times at the intersection while turning because engine power cut off and hit from behind on freeway my stelvio list engine power. You never know when engine power gives out make a loud roaring sound 5-6 secs like wants to explode while my foot all way down on gas pedal. Auto service manager states seen a high rise with oil system pressure and replacement. Please review and open recall for oil pump replacement before someone gets injured or fatalities. This is safety issue. I called Alfa Romero they decline to help me out of good will because my car is 2018 . There are others same year, make and model on Alfa Romero Community website and Facebook Alfa Romeo all discussing oil pump issue and other engine light igniting and Codes PO6DD-OOl. The dealership wants me to pay 7000 dollars to replace oil pump but I can not afford I'm the household. 59 cases including myself reported to you all for oil system pressure. This is a manufacturer issue not human error. Alfa Romeo needs to be held accountable.

My vehicle was subject to recall 93C for the fuel delivery module. Before the recall repair I had Auto Start/Stop Disabled, Service Electronic Throttle, Service Parking Brake, Check Engine Light, limp mode, and unexpected shutdowns. Bill Luke Tempe Alfa Romeo replaced the fuel pump on September 29, 2026, and the vehicle was ready September 30, 2026. The same warnings and shutdowns continued after the repair. On October 23, 2026, at approximately 93,400 miles, while driving to Walmart, I attempted a U-turn. The vehicle went into limp mode with the same warnings and completely shut down in the middle of the turn. I was able to restart it temporarily and move it to a Circle K parking lot, but when I tried to pull into a parking space it would not start. It was towed to my home in Tucson and has remained inoperable since. No crash, no injury, and no fire occurred. The loss of power while turning was a serious safety risk.

Outstanding recall required but I am located in a state without an authorized dealer and the manufacturer has declined transportation assistance previously provided for another recall. The oustanding recall if not fixed states, "A loss of drive power can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning." My closest authorized dealer is over 6 hours away driving. It doesn't seem like I should be driving that much to get recall fixed if the unfixed recall "can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning." Please review whether the manufacturer's remedy arrangements provide reasonable access in my circumstances. Thank you!

Legal Compliance & Safety Hazard Remedy - VIN: [XXX] Alfa Romeo's response frames towing as a "warranty coverage" issue. This is factually incorrect and legally irrelevant. This is not a warranty claim; this is a federally mandated National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) safety campaign involving a severe vehicle fire and engine stalling hazard. Under federal law (49 U.S.C. § 30120), manufacturers are legally required to provide a remedy for safety recalls that is reasonably accessible to the consumer, free of charge. Alfa Remeo has failed to provide that access: Complete Infrastructure Failure in [XXX]: My nearest in-state authorized dealer, Dennis Dillon Fiat in [XXX], has formally refused to perform this safety recall because they do not have an Alfa-certified technician on staff. Extreme Geographical Hardship: Because Alfa Romeo's only in-state service center lacks the technical capability to fulfill your safety mandate, the nearest operational dealership is now roughly 9.5 hours away. Severe Safety Liability: Alfa Romeo is demanding that I personally operate or coordinate the transport of a vehicle with an active, un-remedied fuel system fire/stalling hazard across nearly 10 hours of public highway. Doing so places severe liability on me and a catastrophic safety risk on the public—a risk caused entirely by a manufacturing defect and your broken dealer network. Because Stellantis cannot provide a qualified technician within a reasonable or safe distance from ZIP code [XXX], they are failing to provide a functionally accessible recall remedy. I am requesting that Alfa Romeo authorize one of the following logistical accommodations: Option A: Stellantis covers the full cost of a commercial auto-carrier to transport the vehicle from [XXX] to your closest functional facility and return it upon completion. Option B: Stellantis issues a formal franchise waiver to allow my local local Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram (CDJR) in [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA

The contact owns a 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio. The vehicle was purchased and the contact was notified of an EPS failure. While driving 70 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated and the messages "Service Engine", "Service Throttle Body", and "Alfa Steering Torque" were displayed. The contact detected a burning coolant odor while outside the vehicle. The following day, the vehicle failed to accelerate above 20–30 MPH with the RPM at high, and the coolant level fluctuating.
