Only had my 500 three days and I've already had to book it into the garage. When I picked it up Sunday I drove away in auto mode and the change was terrible so i used manual shift. Being used to BMW auto's i just assumed it would never be as smooth so didn't bother. However when my other half took it to tescos she came back saying it would not change from 2nd to third and that she to had to use the manual mode also which works perfectly. I decided to take it for a drive and to my horror it would not change from 1st to 2nd never mind 2nd to third. However again manual shift was perfect even when you kept your foot down the shift was very smooth. I also tried on E mode and it was a little better but not much.
Dealer confirmed at around 4pm to-day that there was a problem and the workshop foreman was on the phone to fiats tech center for info and could they keep in for another day I of course said yes but I'll be looking for a car to use from Friday night if they need it longer.
Should this not have been picked up during the PDI FFS to add to the woe there are three small bubbles in the paint on the passengers door and the left turn won't self cancel and now I'm reading on another thread on here that the sunroof option has been stopped owing to problems an option which my car has.
So much for improving the quality FIAT. NOT Effin good enough. Love the looks of the car but I new I should've listened to the wee voice that keep saying mini, mini, mini :bang:
I'm one of your new customers Fiat I would NEVER!!! have considered any of your other cars but I was bought in with promises of better build/quality etc etc for this model I must've been mental
