Hi!
I just got my car a month ago, fiat punto evo 2011 dualogic and been having lots of problem with it. It drives beautifly on highways but in the city it keeps failing.
Even though it has been looked out in a garage and no problems appeared I have so many issues with it its frustrating. I hope I can translate the problems clear as possible...
1. The most recent scary problem is that when I press lightly on the brakes, the car starts juddering aggressively for a few meters and then it suddenly brakes strongly and the engine shuts down.
It happened to me while driving and in a narrow street and I was lucky no one got me. After starting the engine again I can continue driving, but then whenever I press the brakes lightly to slow down and reach a low speed it begins again.
When the engine shuts down it shows the oil warning light, but it is not on whenever driving (also checked the oil nothing is missing)
2. Gear trouble, this problem happened from the begining. Sometimes when I stand in place or when I wait in a traffic light the gear will fail and go to neutral while beeping, then I would try to start the engine again and it might happen again for a few times but eventually it will go away and I continue driving, I took the car to be checked out and they said everything is good.
3. I dropped a small plastic piece to the ac vents (2-3 cm) is it harmfull? I really hope not...
I wonder if anyone can shed light on these problems, its my first car and I dont understand much but I want to.
