Hi fellow FIAT owners,
This is my first post and I hope someone can help.
Partner has a 57 (very low mileage) Grande Punto Sporting owned from new.
While travelling to work on the motorway last week the front wipers suddenly stopped while it was raining heavily, obviously a very dangerous situation she was terrified but luckily managed to get off the motorway and stop the car.
The AA was called and they did a few tests and reset the body computer, everything was fine till today when the same thing happened.
A quick call to the dealer (Lookers Italia Stockport) to find out if this was a known problem and was shocked to find out that the wiper motor was not covered in the third year warranty
Considering this is a critical component I find this totally unbelievable that it is not covered and especially when the car has such a low mileage.
If I get the dealer to look at it they are going to charge me (quite a bit).
Is there any way I can get FIAT UK to pay for this or does anyone now what the problem could be.
Thanks
