well i have had my stilo from new and in august 2003 the gearbox exploded on me whilst driving down a bypass was doing about 65mph it took fiat 6 weeks to get it sorted, anyway got my car back all good and felt as good as new a couple of weeks later it started jumping out of reverse and did not like going in to 1or 2nd gear so back it went to fiat they said the syncro had gone!! so out the new box came and they sorted it for me withnin a week, well a year has past and i have had no probs with the car really well apart from one of the coil packs dieing on me untill 2 weeks ago i was driving along the road and a loud bang happened and i lost all drive so pulled in and found my gear box had exloded again leaking all its oil over the road, so now i have to get it fixed again, whats better its now not under warranty so its got to come out of my pocket and im really happy!!!!!!
