Mar 2013 12000 mi	Hearing a thunk in the steering and determined that their are 70 nationwide and need steering rack replaced. It is back ordered for at least two weeks. Said car is safe to drive. Telling me that Air Bags need to be serviced. Also other warninga like overheating when it was not. They flashed ECM and asked me see it it keeps happening. Rubber gasket above rear door came loose. Dealer glued and seems fine now. Starter sounds weird at times. Today it sounded like it was grinding. When I tell dealer they are not able to repeat it so nothing is done. I have a bad starter and know it. Driver seat is squeaking when it is cold. They actually did not call me back as promised for replacing the steering rack. So could not get it fixed and deal with the clanking for now. Said many having this problem.

They have in the past told me is was a safety issue as the starter doubles as oil pump for the head. Now they tell me oh so that is what it is doing. Can't replicate it but friends hear it often.

Car stops running without warning. Ignition key remains in "on" position. Car has been to dealership service facility 3 times (first time at 952 miles) without problem being diagnosed or repaired. Will not drive this vehicle again. This car has been sitting at the Austin Fiat dealership for two years since we last left it there and told them to return the car to us when the problem was fixed. Never heard from them again. Now they tell us we owe them about $28,000 in storage fees as an "abandoned vehicle". This car, a 1012 model, has little more than 5,000 miles on it but we are going to have it salvaged out to be sure that it will never enter the used car market. A disastrous purchase of a $20,000 vehicle that was both HIGHLY dangerous to drive. Fiat/Chrysler absolutely no help. DO NOT purchase a Fiat. Ours was a very cute little car but a dangerous potential deathtrap.
