I am having issues again with my fiat stalling on me while driving down the road. this has been happening for a year 1/2 now and no solution via the dealership service department. i was almost rear ended on the interstate due to my car shutting off. this is time i was on the interstate going 70mph. i have had my car towed to the service dealership in the past for this same issue. they had it for a month and same thing keeps happening. this is unsafe and terrifying for me to drive with my two kids in the back.
My tie rod has bent 2 times now. i have done nothing to it. the first time is that my whole tire fell off when i was driving. the next it just barely not even a year after my tire fell off i was driving in the snow and my drive mode stop working. once i parked i look at my tire and saw it was cockeyed. i did not hit anything. i was only going max 5 miles an hour. it has been a year from hell with my car.
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 the drive mode and service engine lights came on again. about 50 miles later they turned off on their own, and another 20 miles later they came back on again. the car seems to drive normally but the different drive modes such as "traction +" aren't accessible. it's been between 60-80 degrees outside & clear on each occasion. it hasn't turned itself off again since the first time.
