Fiat 500 Change Vehicle

"The CLock runs slow. After a couple weeks you will be a few minutes late. After a couple months it will be 10 minutes behind."

"clock runs slow. told it was in "perameters""

"A faulty electronic device in the braking system makes the cruise control not to disengage when it is set and you tap on the brakes. The cruise control only stops after pounding on the brake pedal. One must make an almost sudden stop to deactivate the cruise control."

"License plate illumination lamp failed multiple times, requiring wire harness repair/replacement. (Also, tailgate would not open from the exterior release... had to fold down the seats and use the emergency release!)"

"license plate lights both went out... dealer said the entire license plate light assembly and tail gate handle must be replaced approx.: $500... I used 2013 lights and modified the connector to make work $35"

"the lights burn out every three months or so. I have replaced every single exterior light on this car multiple times every year. I've had light blow seconds after install. My mechanic has no idea why."

"Harness problem connected to brake lamp. Harness frayed and shorted to chassis. Brake lamp fuse blew (as would any replacement). Shifter did not see brake pedal pressed, so could not shift out of P."

"Right & left brake lights need to be replaced often"

"License plate light went out requiring replacement of light holder"

"Moisture/water collected in rear brake light"

"Idiot light went on without justification. Fiat dealer is 40 miles from my house so I took it to the local Dodge dealer. Dodge dealer service dept plugged their diagnostic computer into the car and cannot find a code to justify the warning light"

"The backlighting on the cluster has gone out 3 times since I've owned this vehicle. There are no replaceable 'bulbs'; the cluster must be replaced!"

"Fogged lenses"

"Headlights bulbs kept going out after a few days. FIAT said because we used after marker bulbs it fried the headlight system. Repair was about $1200.00"

"Right headlamp burned out. Warranty"

"this was not an option but had had several occasions where windows would not roll up or down...electrical issue, also impacted the lights"

"Burned out but the bulbs/battery weren't the problem. Dealership told me I would need a $120 diagnostic test done. Decided not to spend the money."

"The trunk/hatch light never worked on this car since it was new. I never knew there was a light! My tail lights stopped working and when the dealer fixed a break in the wiring harness the trunk/hatch light started working for the first time!"

"Trunk lid would not release. It has no manual unlocking ability. Dealer resolved for $50."

"both OEM remotes had to be replaced as defective. Both replacement remotes have quit working properly, except at very close range. Both are now out of warranty. Keyed entry is limited. Locking car without remotes is not possible"

"Tire Pressure Monitoring System failed. Especially during cold weather, would get a warning light after ~10 minutes of driving. Required replacement BCM, I believe. Fortunately I have a lifetime warranty, but still annoying."

"The TPMS system is garbage. It's not worth fixing"

"Wiring issue"

"I've had multiple expensive repairs to the wiring for the electrical system. Original issue caused a lockout from the back hatch. I have periodic warning light malfunction and need assistance since I can never be sure if it's a real issue"

"They were consistently on even though there was no cause"

"Obvious electrical overload. Stopped working several times. Sent back to dealer on at least four occasions"

"Both door handles became partially detached over the winter."

"TRUNK LOCKWOULD NOT OPEN"

"Driver side does not retract all the way"

"Paint on sunroof peeling off - had to replace the sun roof"

"The latch on the hatch failed, which precluded use of hatch completely; no secondary access method is provided--no key, no cable-linked remote opener, no nothing. Just another in the continuing series of problems presented by this awful little car. Even my wife has stopped insisting we keep it. We plan to get rid of it"

"Unable to open the rear hatch due to the wiring harness having broken wires. Broken where the harness comes into the hatch"

"tailgate won't open (off/on problem.) The latch mechanism was replaced once during warranty because of this issue, but it started happening again within the past 6 months"

"Sometimes unable to open hatchback (trunk) door. The latch does not work"

"I had to return the car to the dealer twice because of loose trim. In one case it was a lower side door trim and the other was a rear reflector (which actually fell off)"

"molding coming off"

"Rear bumper was coming loose - fixed under warranty"

"peeling plastic on roof"

"Armrest trim broke off catastrophically and replacement parts in the same color are unavailable."

"Even though the car has minimal miles on it, things are continuing to fall off,loosen. Very cheaply made."

"Narrow paint strip above windshield between glass and sunroof peeled off and after repaint peeled off again"

"Paint too thin on panel between windshield and sunroof. Depth of paint measured by body shop. It was half of what it should be. The paint peeled off. Panel needed to be repainted. Cost was about 500"

"The paint or trim (whatever it is) has been peeling off the top of the windshield since I owned the car. The dealership said it wasn't covered by warranty. I later learned it was covered so I am really unhappy I did not get a repair I was entitled to."

"The paint peeled off of the front of the sunroof (between the edge of where the sunroof starts and where the top of the windshield starts). They had to take the entire sunroof mechanical assembly off to fix it and it took about a week"

"Paint on panel between sunroof and windshield cracked/pealed"

"Roof paint in front of sun roof peeling"
