Does anybody have a fault free gp?

Has anyone owned a gp for more than six months with out any problems?
Not including the recalls.
I think this could be interesting
The best fiat i had was a diesel punto 1995 done just under 100,000 only thing to go wrong was the alternator.
But my gp has been a lemon.

Re: Does anybody have a fault free gp?

faults with my gp are-
1,
steering wheel knocks when moving left to right(had two new racks fitted by amc chelmsford which then destroyed front tyres because they didnt track in wheel still knocks.
2
vibration thru car at 70 mph +(tracking has been done)
3
lost all dials and indicators (next day working fine)
4
rattle from front when going over bumbs brakeing or going down car park slopes
5
knocking coming from passenger door and rear of car
6
brakes squeal(not to worried about this)


I have had two puntos previous to the gp one was fault free for first 3 years the other had minor niggles which were sorted by southend fiat straight away no hassle.
But i have had a complete nightmare with amc chelmsford and the way i have been treated its worth losing £5000 to get out of this.
Car is coming up for a year old waranty seems to be worthless and i have lost all faith in getting it fixed.
And iam scared that more problems will arise.
I was a fiat fan and i still love the gp style and was even thinking of getting a new one but i dont think i can risk it.
The reason for post was to see if there are any fault free gps.

Re: Does anybody have a fault free gp?

Take your car to another dealer.
Why do people keep going back to the same crap dealerships when there are so many good Fiat dealers??
