Well when i first got my car new from the garage the car was great but the after customer service was terrible. My car was fine for a few months then started to go wrong anyway to cut a long story short I transfered dealerships to get my car fixed. Remember my first dealer kept telling me my car was fine. My new dealership has stated I have a big problem and the engine and exhaust system may need replaced. 
1st dealer changed from fiat to kia and took the fiat brand away so it looks to me they dont like fiat, new dealer is a fiat and abarth dealership.
anyway here is the problem.
1. Car burns loads of oil 1l to every 1000 miles was told by the first dealer that my car is fine it was supposed to do this. YEA RIGHT. Anyway new dealer says this is not right and any fiat cars that do, do this should get the car checked.
2. MPG 6 - 24 city, motorway 24-32mpg. remember mine is the 1.4 active 90bhp. Again was told this is fine, my new dealer says nope it should be around about 35-45mpg.
3. knocking noise in suspension, again told by first dealer the car is fine. YEA WHAT EVR.
4. Exhaust gone. 1st dealer said nothing wrong with it. 2nd dealer said the exhaust has a hole and cat has gone on the car but i will explain why later down.
5. rear brake lights were not working but because the worning light was not on the first dealer like usual said there is nothing wrong. 2nd dealer said the electronics in the car are fried.
6. oil smell in exhaust fumes and through vents.
anyway there is alot more first dealer like usual said the car is fine nothing wrong with it. BUT GUESS WHAT the second dealer still has my car and is now day 2. they have stated there is a crack in the block that was caused but the block overheating. I was also told that the engine oil pump was not working properly and therefor caused the car to ever heat and die. Ontop of this i was told that the oil was getting through the pistons and burning away with the fumes which caused the cat to die and hey presto smell in exhaust.
Anyway i have been told they may order a new engine for the car or scrap the car and provide me with a new car. seems ashame if they scrap my baby its my first ever car and had since new. BUT IT IS THANKS to thoughs idiots that did not do there job properly (garage no 1). Second one is fantastic they are really helpful (richard Hardys) The best thing of all the have gave me a curtersy car (FIAT Grande Punto Abarth) yea. Its my next car if they cant fix it.
