On November 23, 2024 at around 12:20. While at a complete stop at a stoplight with my foot on the brake, my car literally launched/thrusted forward with such momentum I thought I was rear ended by another car. The thrust was so significant it sent the car three to four feet forward. My son and I were in shock, it scared us to death. This could have resulted in a crash. I immediately reported the issue to Alfa Romeo Customer care and the service department as a critical concern. The car was towed into Alfa Service department to investigate and resolve along with number other issues with the car however, their response to this critical issue was “we can’t replicate the issue” therefore can’t fix it! They also refuse to buy back my new 2024 Stelvio as a “lemon” stating there’s no safety issue and the other issues can’t be replicated! This issue is critical and needs addressed, I’m afraid for my safety.
