Hello all, we've had the multipla for just over a year and have had a few problems.
The biggest and most annoying is that of what appears to be a sticky throttle cable but isn't.
What happens is that the engine will respond perfectly well to the throttle pedal but when you lift off the pedal, the revs stay where they were. Naturally, the fault is intermittent.
It isn't a sticky cable as it returns freely and after a number of attempts at curing it, the local dealer hasn't got a clue.
Has this happened to anybody else?
Fiat insist that they have never seen this before but I'm not so sure.
BTW, the engine returns to normal revs if you turn it off for a second or two.
I also have a list of defects and problems found not only with the car but various dealers - another day perhaps.
If it wasn't so versatile, it would be traded in for something non-Fiat.[xx(]
