I should like to know just how many other Croma owners have experienced drive shaft problems. There are I know other threads on here about Croma driveshafts but now that time has passed I need some ammunition to speak with Fiat, especially in view that the problem seems to occur after the warranty has expired. (just 2 years in Italy).

Is it a faulty component, design fault or what? I'd like to know. :bang:

There may not be enough Croma owners on here to be able to give you an answer. Like the Renault Avantime, FIAT tried to be a bit too clever and ended up not pleasing anyone, at least over here.

As a matter of interest, I was waiting to fly out of Venice and was having a cigarette outside when I saw a strange looking Bravo, or at least that's what I thought it was. When I got closer it turned out to be a facelifted Croma.

They discontinued the model over here before we ever got the facelift.

Good luck with your search for the answer.
