Serious question.

Back in 2014 a whole lot of people were going Ape over the 1.2 engine and its inability to climb hills or worse still, not pull away from a standstill.

Now, did it go away, was it fixed, did it only happen to 80% of the cars so we acheived herd immunity.... or did people just learn to drive...:devil:
 
What were new tight engines are now loosened up and therefore less power loss as the engines get older.

we had a benefit by using Iridium plugs which reduced the symptoms

I owned one of the affected 2014 500’s, the main thing was you needed a crazy amount of rev’s to pull away from standstill, after around 9 months it had a update, and it transformed the drive, back to being a regular car.
