Thanks, but wow, sometimes living somewhere that only gets over 30c once a year for two weeks at the most is a blessing!

Well, here i live its not only the 30C+ (in the shade!), its the lots of sun you get so the temperatures goes way above 40C and it stays like that for about 4 months.
Yesterday for example i parked in a closed parking lot and at car dashboard the Temp' reading was about 35c

Almost every 500 i watched from the year 2008-2012 has this airbag issue - Fiat says its not dangerous and its only an aesthetical problem - don'w know about that but i replaced that whole piece just to be sure + it really makes the interior look ugly, guess the dashboard material is from a very low quality (never happaned in 10 years + cars i had).

Our reliability stats for the 500 now cover the year ending June 30, 2015. (Others are over a year behind, and so report how these cars were doing when a year younger.) Repair trips per 100 cars:

2014 500: 29, low, very small sample size
2013 500: 52, moderate
2012 500: 50, moderate

We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds", to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop:

2013 500: 63, 5
2012 500: 73, 3

If a model year isn't listed, or its sample size is small, then we especially need more owners involved.
