Hi everyone,
I left earlier today clutching my reference number from fiat HQ,full of anticipation and hope that my driving lesson with the top technician would sort out my cars problems of stalling or engine screaming when pulling away on hills,sadly I have to report a failure,when questioned as to how the lesson would progress,I was told that the way to drive the fiat panda pop,was to rev it to 6000 rpm and slip the clutch,until forward progress was achieved,what a load of b*****s,so anyone who buys one of these cars,would need extra driving lessons from fiat,so I asked,would there be a problem with my warranty,when within a year I needed my clutch replaced,he said,we would look at each case on its own merit,I shall be taking this case to trading standards,fed up of not getting a straight answer,technicians agree that it has a problem,inasmuch as it wont drive as a normal car,but it has passed its euro6 spec,so there is no fault,fiat are supposed to be looking for an update,but there is no fault,fiat can keep the car,one unhappy customer,never again will I buy fiat.
