after recently having my car serviced, i was told that my rear brake mounting brackets have completely coroded away making them utterly useless. when this manufacturer fault was taken to fiat i was told that corrosionwas not included on the 3rd year warranty. i dont know bout you but i don't expect my car to corrode away when its 2 years and 4 month old.

anyone else had this problem with fiat?

the mechanic that did my service refused to replace the rear brake pipe mounting brackets as my car was under warranty. i rang the dealer up and they said it should be under warranty but they would have to inspect it. i took my car to the dealer, they inspected it and told me that corrosion was not covered on my 3rd year warranty but they are happy to charge me £250 to replace them.
 
£250 for some brackets? Is it a 1.4 or a 1.2 or 1.3 diseasel?

Oh and btw this is the first time I've seen this issue. I'd suggest calling Fiat on
00800 3428 0000 and saying that you're not particularly impressed :)
