Alright everyone, just wondering if Im alone with my latest GP problem or if there are any of you that have experienced the same?
Ive got a 1.2 Active, 56 plate and had it just over a year from new, sometimes (not all the time) when Im in 2nd gear the car just runs away with itself, it actually picks up speed and accelarates without me touching anything, even pressing the brakes doesnt stop the car, I have to press the clutch in (to disengage the gear) then press the brake
its more prevailent going downhill, Ive noticed because Ive recently started parking in a multi story car park for work and getting the car out of a evening can be a bit tricky with this fault, I can see myself ramming it into a wall one day soon
Id go back to the fiat dealer but in all honesty they are appauling judging by the 'service' Ive had from them so far
anyone know why this fault is oocuring? is it a know fault? anyone experienced the same issue?
