Hi,
I have a 2003 1.2 Punto Active. Since buying it, I have had to replace the front tyres twice due to excessive wear on the inside edge of both front tyres (despite having the tracking adjusted after the first set were replaced-currently 10,000 miles per set of front tyres), am having to have the clutch replaced a second time due to excessive juddering when setting off and have suffered intermittent electrical problems which has at times left me without power steering (twice whilst driving over the higher Lake District passes).
There are other problems that Fiat refuse to accept under warranty but my main concern is that these are recurring problems and Fiat are already questioning whether they will foot the bill for this replacement clutch, having refused, point blank, to accept responsibility for the wandering tracking.
The car has covered 25,000 miles since new (all in my care), and has never been driven hard or carelessly. Is it possible that the car has an inherent problem that no amount of repairs will resolve and if so, what can I do about it?
Cheers
Chris
