When attempting to fill up gas at a fuel filling station the car will not take in any fuel from the gas station pump. it reacts like the tank is full but it is not. a very small steady flow of fuel will flow (approx 20cents) and then overflow as if it is full. this is a dangerous problem at that the gas pump and has also caused me to run out of fuel on the freeway as well which could cause serious accidents. fiat dealer says they have not heard of this issue, but i am finding 1000's of owners online with the same issue.

My car cuts off while driving or being idled. i would drive it in the city and after about 20-30 minutes of driving stop and go. it would cut off while i'm stopped at a light. then i would put it in park and it would restart. then after that it would read as high coolant. also going up steep hills it would cut off when i turn it at the top of the hill and read nothing just completely turn off. i finally got to replicate the problem with fiat service and they are trying to figure out how to stop it from cutting off. this should be a recall and replace by fiat

My 2013 fiat abarth was rear ended. i was stopped. the other driver, in a grand cherokee, rear ended me. his speed was approximately 20-30 mph. i was knocked unconscious briefly & had severe head pain. i am still undergoing treatment. none of my cars safety features worked, including the fuel pump shut off. i believe the seat hit me in the head. the abarth has unique, high backed seats with a fixed / integrated head rest with a hard, plastic insert. my seatbelts failed to tighten and the fuel pump failed to shut off. i worked for chrysler fiat at the time and did tell people in engineering about the concern. i suffered a concussion & now have constant, daily headaches and migraines.
