I have a 1.4 petrol manual 500L.. My third new Fiat in a row, and I thought I had cracked it and that the dealer, Motorvogue, Northampton were excellent!
How wrong was I!! Here we go with a terrible product and I have made a mistake with a new model!
Our problem is the gearbox.. It intermittently does not go into 5th or 6th gear and occasionally jumps out of reverse. It has been back to the garage and was resident for three weeks during which time two techs said there was nothing wrong, and two said there was. Things were changed, plates and cables?? And it is back with us. Slightly improved but still evident. It went back with 500 miles on the clock and has now done 1200 in the four months we have had it. To add insult to injury the rear fog/reverse light is full with water.
Finally..........mpg figures quoted by Fiat must have been conjured by the Northampton Clown!!
Any others had similar issues??
So far Motorvogue have been very unhelpful and seem to be avoiding us!!
