From Belgium
- front right - back left brake pads/discs wear (other are still in excellent condition)
I've noted on many occasions on a rolling stop, no break, in gear neutral that often as the car comes to a halt there is a slight grab/jerk as though the handbrake was gently applied.
I got the dealer to investigate this at my first service 12 months ago. The rear breaks were (according to them) stripped down and not fault found etc. etc.
To this day I can detect this very slight grab problem. Finger temperature checks of the rear discs/hubs do not indicate excessive brake drag but to me there should be no drag!
Never had a problem on ANY Fiat till the Vauhall setup the Croma has. Kind of telling really.
All the problems people are reporting
1) rear tyre wear
2) break wear
3) driveshaft wear
all appear to be common to the GM crap Epsilon platform. That puts your dealer in a tricky position because they can't really admit to you that the Croma faults you experience are due to crap GM design as that would undermine Fiat etc. etc.
My advise is keep a detailed note of problems, keep pushing them to you Fiat dealer and insist on Fiat feedback.
Let me be clear. The Croma is a great car, epsecially the bargain deals many got here in the UK. However some points/problems appear to be common and sadly not dramtic/serious enough for Fait to be forced to take them seriously. e.g. brake failures, engine failures, etc. etc.
