Hi
I just got my fiat 500 1.2 cult (the sicilia orange one) two months ago and i have been driving for about 900km so far.
I found my fiat jerks and shudders at 1st gear from the day i bought it.
I read some posts and i knew it can jerk when gear shifting but my problem happens when i am driving at a very slow speed like 20km/h. no gear changes involved.
my driving style is: most of the time i drive on auto mode, and i try to loose accelerator a bit when gear shifts but i do not have any idea if i am doing it properly or not.
I drive like less than 10 km per day and I drive almost every day.
1. Sometimes i feel the car gets power and goes a bit powerful all of sudden at 1st gear. i did not push accelerator any harder.
2. Quite frequently (like 3~4 times while i'm driving 500 meters), when i drive at a low speed around the town, it jerks at 1st gear. i did not push accelerator any harder or softer.. i can feel myself forward and backward... I don't think my fiat jerks a lot when gear shifting and at high gear.
3. From last week, i can hear when the gear shifts and also when i use the break, i can hear the sound of scratching. (I did not wash the car for 2 months. Would it be the reason?)
This is my first car ever and i honestly have no knowledge of how car mechanism works.
Could you tell me if it is normal to have the above problems on fiat?
Thanks
