Hi there I’m based in Palmerston North, New Zealand but I brought my fiat in Auckland New Zealand.
When driving the vehicle home (6 hour trip) I noticed every time I was at a hill start and in automatic the traffic light would go green and the car was in the auto mode and I would take my foot off the brake to move to the accelerator and the vehicle would roll backwards down the hill and the gearbox goes into nuetral automatically and to stop the vehicle I have to pull the manual handbrake on. The vehicle is back in Auckland and the car dealer is trying to tell me this is normal for a dualogic gearbox.
This is incredibly dangerous and I could roll into a vehicle behind me when sitting at the top of a hill. Can someone please help me as I cannot believe this is normal.
Thank-you very much
