FIAT is very disapoint .

  Worst mistake of my life - 2014 Fiat 500L
  By darthmoll21 - January 12 - 9:52 pm

  I traded in a reliable Rav4 for this piece of crap. For the first few months, the car worked well, aside from a few recall issues. After Id had it for 6 months, the problems really started to surface. The check engine light kept coming on and I was taking the car to the shop nearly every other week. The transmission completely locked up at one point and I had to turn the car on and off several times before it unlocked. The transmission also began to jerk much more (yes its quirky but this is NOT a feature) while accelerating and decelerating, making stop and go traffic particularly dangerous. Im currently pursuing lemon law on this car so I can get rid of it!

  Dangerous Vehicle -- Do not consider buying - 2014 Fiat 500L
  By valibertarian - February 9 - 8:15 am

  I purchased a 500L Trekking for my wife three weeks ago. After the first week, we drove down the road and the transmission was locked in 2nd gear. It would not shift up or down -- even with auto stick. We had to pull over and shut the car off -- then it would not restart because it was locked in second gear. We were stranded on the side of the road. We eventually made it to the dealership and they gave us a 500L loaner -- the next day the same thing happened with it! Check the Fiat 500L forums and youll find that this is a known and common issue. There are also multiple complaints with the NHTSA. Two weeks into the repair, there is no word on when well get the car back.

  NEVER BUY FIAT!! - 2014 Fiat 500L
  By mahmabear - January 23 - 4:19 pm

  I got the car, drove it home, very next day it didnt start. Took it to the shop, it said, "Its too cold for it here" (Northern Indiana)...Brought it back home, drove it for three days (300 miles) with starting issues...then it totally broke down. Wouldnt start, stereo was cutting out and blowers on the heater/air conditioner stopped working. Call for Fiat Roadside assistance, three times a day for 6!!!!! days until they finally came to get it. Towed it to the shop where it has sat for two weeks. I am getting the run around completely.

  So many Issues Do Not Buy - 2014 Fiat 500L
  By shaynebenigno - January 6 - 9:58 pm

  I bought this car oct 30 2013. It has been in the shop 4 times for weeks at a time. The check engine lights and transmission lights go on. The whole car has lost power leaving me with no power steering brakes flying down the HWY 70 mph. The car is unsafe. Fiat acts like they never heard of this issue but I have found other people on forums that have had the same so apparently its an issue. I dont feel safe in the car and they are refusing to help me.

  Broke Down Already!! - 2014 Fiat 500L
  By lisanomni - September 6 - 10:55 pm

  I bought my Fiat 500L about 3 weeks ago. I was on my way to work, when it started shaking and the transmission light came on. I had to wait for Fiat to open and the car had to be towed in. This Maxwell Supercenter has no clue how to repair the car and I have been without it for a week. The manager, Jack M., has been Very difficult and even though I got a call today, after 7 days, I do not feel comfortable and safe in My Fiat. I plan to return it. The GM (Lisa C.) here at Austin Fiat has no concern and when my attorney confronts her with the Lemon Law and demands a refund, maybe she will sing a different tune? I have been stunned at the poor service I have received!
