My fiat 500x is brand new barely 350 miles...it has been towed twice so far and is presently being worked on now. i am afraid to drive it since it stalls out while driving and eventually will not restart. i have been researching online and have found similar issues. i feel unsafe driving this vehicle and could end up being in or causing an accident since i was almost hit both times my car stalled out...once on the highway and the other time most recently in high city traffic. i just want a replacement of equal value.
I was making a slow turn in a parking lot and the car turned itself off while driving. the radio remained on and dash lights/gear lights were illuminated but the car was completely unresponsive otherwise. i realized it had turned off so i restarted it & it continued to drive normally. about 50 miles later i was driving 35mph and a warning light came on stating "drive mode unavailable" then another saying "service engine". i took it to the dealership where they said it just needed some updates, gave it the updates, and sent me home. about 50 miles later ...
I was driving down the highway in a middle lane going about 50mph when i noticed the car was no longer responsive to gas or steering. brakes were harder to press than usual & i realized the car had turned itself off. the only way i could get it started again was to come to a complete stop & put it in park, re-start, disengage the auto-emergency brake, then put it in drive. all while cars were flying around the bend of the highway almost hitting me and almost hitting each other trying to avoid hitting me.
