Hello everyone,
been posting here with all my issues regarding my 500 abarth.
tldr: At 50k had burnt valve and bad pcm, went for warranty work, they broke my coolant system, my AC, didn't ground the pcm correctly, and it took well over 70+ days of not having it to get everything fixed and it hasn't been the same since they touched it. Lots of rattling and rough ride. with less than 55k miles both rear wheel bearings needed to be replaced and the front struts needed to be replaced.
They replaced the rear wheel bearings and yet there is still rough vibrations throughout the car. it can be felt in the steering wheel and through your feet on the ground. through the seat as well.
I took it to a local garage and they acknowledged the vibrations but stated they did not know what was wrong and suggested taking back to the dealership.
I do not trust this dealership considering everything and the only other dealership is well out of the way.
I have just reached out to a lawyer regarding lemon law to see if I am even in the realm of threatening legal actions or if I just have to deal with a ****ty dealership that doesn't fix things correctly.
I hate this car so much and regret buying it. I wish I would have listen to everyone stating these were not reliable. but f me for thinking i'd take a chance on it.
Thank you!
