I have a 2011 Fiat 500c and experienced two very horrible engine stop incidents within the previous few months.

Both incidents happened when I was trying to leave car park. The exits were both at the end of an upward slope.

In case 1, I stopped my car waiting for my turn to get to the exit. When it was my turn, I stepped on the gas pedal. Suddenly, the engine stopped and my car just falled backward. Luckily, there was no car behind and I could hit the brake on time to stop the car. No fault lights, no warning lights, just nothing! After a while, I restarted the car and everthing seemed normal. I then drove my car to our agent to check but we were told that the car has nothing wrong:eek:.

In case 2, again I stopped my car waiting for my turn to get to the exit. When it was my turn and stepped on the gas pedal, my car moved gradually but after a very short distance, I could feel that the car seemed not responding to the gas pedal and was slowing down. Even I stepped on the gas pedal harder, the car continued to slow down and I could see the gear went from 2 to 1. Finally, and suddenly, the engine stopped with some weire sound. With the previous experience, I could hit the brake on time and my car didn't slip backwards. Like case 1, I restarted the car after a while and everything seemed normal again.

To me, it is very dangerous for such a car to have engine stopped like this way.

Do any of you experience this? Does anyone know what's happening?

Please help. :worship:
