hello, ive recently purchased a 500s, and have had a problem with it, my drive has a slight slope ans when i'm parked at the bottom and start to go up the car wont move and when it does it is struggling, ( yes i've checked its in first gear). the foot flat on floor and clutch pedal out. the revs seems to die. the other night i stopped at traffic lights on a hill and once again struggled to get going, ( nearly got rear ended by car behind). so i took it back to the dealers and a techie roadtested it and it happened to him so it was booked in for the next working day. i left the car with them and returning to collect the receptionist was giving me the keys back and saying the faults been reported to fiat, but it wasn't fixed, i refused to accept the car back, and if its not fixed then i will reject the car, the service manager found me another car to use till they fix mine as due to the xmas holidays they wern't sure when fiat will get back to them, this is my first fiat so i'm not happy and will get rid if the fault is not fixed, at the moment i'm driving a ds3 which is getting more mpg than the fiat which averaged 30mpg. so there is a problem somewhere.
