So I bought the 500L approved used 2014 plate on 2nd April and collected it on 15th April.
The first week was fine and then suddenly the car wouldn't start. Showing a fault message 'check diesal fuel filter' It restarted after an hour and then the engine light stayed on for the rest of the day.
I thought nothing of this and continued with my day.
Few days later, car wouldn't start again so I had a bad experience trying to get my car sorted at the Fiat garage. I had to call the AA who said it was a faulty battery as the cell was missing. Took it to fiat and they said it was due to the ultinator and a software update. They recharged it and then I went home with it.
Next day...
The car broke down AGAIN!!!!
FIAT THEN said it was the black box that was draining the battery, so we had a senior engineer come out to view it (black box engineer)
He basically confirmed that the black box DID NOT DRAIN the battery and it's due to the Fiat supplying a faulty battery.
So now I have no confidence in this car, also today the passenger seat window is now broken....
I really want to send this car back .. am I within rights of this?
I've lost out on work, the curtesy car could not be suited to my working days. I had to insure on different car.
Anyone help please thanks
