General problems i came across on the fiat stilo
1)Air Bag problem-stupid cable under the seat was too blame still does it every now and then though. people check it out cause the stupid fiat service place i took the car (which happens to be one of the biggest in greece) just used a freakin tie rap i think that is such a cheap unproffesional way to fix it.
2)Clutch-after having the car for 3 months it kind of squeaks but not just doesnt feel smooth as it was when i first drove it.
3)Classic gearbox whining in reverse. still didnt manage to get that checked out. any ideas why it does that?
4)SKY WINDOW. yes its the pimpiest thing on the car but sometimes when i put it on a setting to close it a notch it sometimes stops on the setting on the war or goes back.
5)Handbrake-maybe i was stupid enough or it does have a general design problem but maybe i did not lift the handbreak hard enough but as mentioned by another person in the forum mine rolled back and stopped on a car very little scratches though was rolling down reaaally slowly.
6)KANGAROO effect- i thought i suck as a new driver (no people not entirely new i have been driving for almost 6 years but i was mostly driving automatic cars) but others also mentioned that when you slowly move off when the engine is cold the engine makes the car go back and forth on the acceleration.
7)BACK BUMPER-wasnt fitted on correctly by the factory and the boot door was making small marks on it so i got it re fitted again.
8)DRIVER SEAT- when put on a front setting on the horizontal plane the seat didnt seem it clicked into place moving about 1 cm back and forth but made driving difficult. got the rails changed but still think it does it very slightly.
I dont want to say the car sucks i mean i love the car to hell but it does actually suck when these problems occur just owning the car for 4 months i hoped it would happen later. i love the car the looks are amazing especialy the 3 door which i happen to own and the sky window is the best of all the car. still felt i should have gotten a 1.8 even though the car is 108 hp as a 1.6 the car is pretty heavy about 1.4 tons compared to my 900 kilo punto.
