2014 Fiat 500L Driver assistance Problems

Issues with shifting out of park. Random acceleration, stalling, lagging, & jerking while on the road & in full speed traffic. When took car to dealership was told issues with my PCM. PCM had been recalled & fixed with previous owner in 2017. Now the second time having a PCM issue, couldn't do anything with the already fixed recall so i was forced to pay almost 2,000. Now still leaving me with the same issues. Cruise control accelerates on its own, almost causing accident with other cars on highway. Will be going 60 in traffic & it will randomly start to decrease in speed while foot is fully on gas. Possible throttle body issue, RMPS rev up to red while only going 35mph.

CAR INTERMITTENTLY SHIFTS OUT OF GEAR INTO NEUTRAL WHEN faced with an uphill grade forcing car backwards. We have had over 5 nrear accidents involving rolling off hillsides ar onto property or into traffic behind. Car will not engage we have been desperately against a steep hill many times. Also front ABS brakes intermittently grab 1 wheel forcing car sideways at 40 mph. Also car emits rattle sound coming from lower gearbox or engine area noticeable through cab, both before and after a complete $4300 transmission rebuild. Service completed by FIAT and Alfa Romeo od Van Nuys California. This car is going to kill us. Fiat is dragging their feet. I will list the first incident below at March 18, 2023 but then many more occurred after, even after trans rebuild. This design is life-threatening. Who rebuilds a trans at under 50,000 miles??

While driving in traffic the check transmission light came on and car would no longer accelerate coming to a stop in traffic. Gears were not recognized per dash lights. Towed to shop for transmission repair which failed again within a six month time frame when once again while driving check engine light, check transmission light, check temp light all alternately started flashing, car quit accelerating and coasted to stop.

For the past several months my car will simply stop accelerating while I am driving down the road. I can put my foot on the gas, and it will not accelerate. The RPM's and speed go down and I must pull over to the side of the road quickly and turn the engine off, wait 5 minutes or so and try again. Sometimes I must wait longer before it will go back in gear and accelerate. It has been very unsafe when this happens on the interstate putting me, my passengers, and other cars/drivers at risk because it happens with no warning lights and not enough time to get over. This same problem happened before in 2017, and FIAT issued a recall. The dealership stated that recall was fixed and cannot use it for this problem even though it is the EXACT same issue. They state I need a new transmission now costing $9,876.00 repairs/labor for a 2014 FIAT 500L I bought for $13,000..... If this problem was acknowledged before, why isn't FIAT fixing it again?

WHILE DRIVING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND STATE "CHECK TRANSMISSION" AND "MANUAL TRANSMISSION UNAVAILABLE" THEN THE AUTO SHIFTER FOR GEARS WILL START SHIFTING REALLY ROUGH OR NOT AT ALL. ONCE YOU TURN OFF THE VEHICLE IT WILL NOT START AGAIN UNLESS PUT ON A BATTERY CHARGER, AS IT'S STUCK IN 1ST GEAR (PER THE SHOP). TOOK IT TO A SHOP, THEY STATED IT APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO THE FIRST RECALL THAT I HAD COMPLETED AND THE DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING SINCE RECALL ALREADY DONE.

ON AUG 19TH MY CAR WENT IN FOR SERVICE DUE TO THE UNSAFE FAILURES OF ITEMS REPLACED DURING THE 2 RECALLS. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE GEAR SHIFT MODULE AND POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE WERE BOTH RECALLED AND "FIXED". YET ON OCOTOBER 7TH 2020, I EXPERIENCED THE INABILITY TO SHIFT AND CONTROL THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTION. I HAD UNINTENDED DIRECTIONAL MOVEMENT. I EXPERIENCED A DIMINISHED ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND TO MAINTAIN VEHICLE SPEED AS EXPECTED. I WAS ONLY GOING 20MPH-40MPH ON STREETS. THE CAR WAS SWITCHING GEARS ON ITS ON AND STALLING IN TRAFFIC. WHEN I WOULD PUSH ON GAS PEDDLE IT WAS ROLLING BACK WHILE ON AN INCLINE. WHAT WAS MOST ALARMING WAS THAT AS I TRIED TO GET THE CAR HOME IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AS I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC. I ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE TO GET IT INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND IT WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. OBVIOUSLY THE RECALLS IN BOTH 2014 & 2017 FAILED TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN PER AUG 19TH'S SERVICE RECOMMENDATIONS, AVOIDING AGGRESSIVE HIGH SPEEDS AND WHEN IDLE PUT IN PARK TO AVOID OVER HEATING. I HAVE DRIVEN IT AN AVERAGE OF 18MILES A DAY SINCE LAST SERVICED. EVERYTHING I AM EXPERIENCING WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ADDRESSED IN THE TWO RECALLS. UNSAFE CAR.

MY CAR HAS 77000 MILES AND NOW I AM TOLD MY TRANSMISSION IS LEAKING FLUID AND THE REPAIR WILL BE $4400. IT HAS NOT BEEN DRIVING ANY WORSE THAN IT ALWAYS HAS. IT SAYS THERE ARE NO RECALLS. CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THIS? THE CLOSEST FIAT DEALERSHIP IS 30 MILES AWAY. SERVICE IS ONLY OPEN UNTIL 5 M-F WITH NO SERVICE ON WEEKENDS. THIS CAR IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE CUZ WHEN I PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE THE CAR WONT ACCELERATE. THIS CAR HAS ALWAYS HAD A BIG PROBLEM ACCELORATING

1. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR TO ACCELERATE AFTER BRAKING. THIS RESULT INTO THE CAR GOING INTO TRAFFIC AND RISKING A CRASH DUE TO ITS INABILITY TO SHIFT INTO GEAR TO ACCELERATE FASTER. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE PURCHASE IN 2016. THE DEALER SAID THAT IT WAS NORMAL FOR FIATS. 2. THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT IN GEAR. MOST TIMES IT DOES NOT ALLOW ME TO GO INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE FROM PARK. IT NOTIFIES ME TO GO INTO NEUTRAL FIRST THEN IN REVERSE/DRIVE. MOST TIMES THIS HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT 4-5 TIMES BEFORE IT ALLOWS ME TO MOVE. SOME DAYS IT DOESN'T MOVE AT ALL. SOME DAYS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND SOME DAYS IT DOESN'T. THERE IS SOMETHING HERE THAT IS NOT CONNECTING. THIS IS A HAZARD TO MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN TIMES WHEN THE CAR JUST TURN OFF ON ITS ON AND WHEN TRYING TO CRANK IT, IT WONT INITIALLY. OR ONCE RUNNING, IT WON'T MOVE AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT. THERE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE FROM OTHER OWNERS OF THIS CAR MAKE AND MODEL. I TOOK IT IN TO A FIAT DEALERSHIP/SERVICE AND THEY NOTIFIED ME THERE WAS NO RECALL BUT IT WAS INDEED SENSORS GOING OFF FOR THE THE TRANSMISSION. THEY THEN TRIED TO CHARGE ME. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND SERVICE AT NO COST. THIS WAS A PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR AND WAS MISLEAD BY THE RUNNING CONDITIONS OF THIS CAR.

I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FIAT BACK IN 2016 THAT WHILE IN MOTION MY VEHICLE LOSSES POWER AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING. THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF AND AT TIMES AND YOU CAN'T TURN IT BACK ON. IT WILL ALSO ACCELERATE ON ITS ON WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL IS NOT ON AND I AM NOT PUSHING ON THE ACCELERATOR. IF I CAN I HAVE TO FIND A SAFE PLACE TO STOP AND TURN THE CAR OFF TO RESTART IT SO IT WILL ACCELERATE. IT HAS BEEN TO FIAT SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT AND SAY THEY CAN'T DOING ANYTHING BECAUSE IT DOESN'T GIVE THEM A CODE ON THEIR COMPUTER. I HAVE SHOWN THEM VIDEO OF THE CAR DOING THIS. AND THEY SAID I SEE THAT BUT THEY DON'T HAVE A CODE SO THEY CAN'T FIX IT. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES BY OTHER VEHICLES BECAUSE MINE JUST STOPS ON THE ROADS/HIGHWAYS. AND NOW 2 YEARS LATER IT IS THE SAME STORY AND THE CAR IS GETTING WORSE AND MORE FREQUENT ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT THE TEMPERATURE IS OUTSIDE IT WILL DO IT AT ANYTIME BUT IT IS MORE FREQUENT WHEN IT GETS WARMER OUT.

WHEN THE CAR IS ON A DOWN SLOPE AND YOU SHIFT TO REVERSE THE CAR WILL LEAP FORWARD AND ON AN UPSLOPE SHIFTING INTO DRIVE IT ROLLS FREELY BACKWARDS. IN THE LATEST INCIDENT WE WERE ON HWY 101 IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WAITING IN A LINE IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE TRAFFIC DELAY. WHEN WE SHIFTED FROM PARK INTO DRIVE THE CAR ACCELERATED BACKWARDS . FORTUNATELY THE CAR BEHIND US HAD LEFT AMPLE SPACE. IT ALSO HAPPENED PARKING ON A HILL IN SAN FRANCISCO AND FORTUNATELY THERE WAS ONLY A CURB IN BACK. THE MOVEMENT IS NOT LIKE WHAT HAPPENS IN A MANUAL SHIFT CAR. IT FEELS AS IF IT IS ACCELERATING IN THE DIRECTION OPPOSITE TO THE INTENDED. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS IN THE STEERING. WE WERE ON A VERY TIGHT WINDING ROAD HWY20. DRIVING FROM WILLETS TO FT. BRAGG AND BACK AND THE STEERING WHEEL STIFFENED AND RESISTED TURNING IN THESE TIGHT CURVES. IT FELT AS IF THE POWER STEERING WAS FAILING OR THE STEERING WHEEL WAS IN DANGER OF LOCKING. I JUST TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND WAS GIVEN A WARNING FROM CHRYSLER THAT THE '(HSA) MAY NOT ACTIVATE AND SLIGHT ROLLING MAY OCCUR'. THE ROLLING IS NOT SLIGHT AND IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR ON MOUNTAIN SIDES JUST PLAIN DANGEROUS. THE STEERING PROBLEM DID NOT MANIFEST ITSELF TO THE TECH. THIS CAR HAS HAD A NUMBER OF POTENTIALLY DEADLY PROBLEMS. THESE BEING THE MOST RECENT. IT TOOK THE RECALL, AFTER TWO YEARS AND FOUR TRIPS TO THE DEALER, TO ADDRESS THE THROTTLE PROBLEM WHICH WAS TERRIFYING. LOSING CONTROL OF THE THROTTLE ON A 8 LANE HWY IN HEAVY 75 MPH TRAFFIC IS HEART STOPPING.THIS CAR HAS SERIOUSLY FLAWED ENGINEERING. CHRYSLER IS NOT ACCEPTING ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS LATEST PROBLEM. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE.
