Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Electrical System · reported Nov 5, 2026
I am reporting a suspected failure of the Marelli Entertainment Telematics Module (ETM)/radio assembly in my 2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio, VIN [XXX]. My vehicle is included in Recall 25V667000, which involves defects in the rearview camera display system and associated infotainment hardware. Over the past 3-4 weeks, the ETM/radio module has developed a loud, continuous humming, buzzing, and electrical "struggling" noise that has progressively worsened. I traced the source of the noise directly to the Marelli ETM/radio module located behind the dashboard. The noise is not related to the HVAC system…
Service Brakes · reported Oct 31, 2026
The ground-wire sleeve in the front-left wheel well is intended to protect the copper wire beneath it. However, the fabric-braided sleeve can deteriorate after years of exposure to the elements, leaving the wire vulnerable to corrosion and shorting. In my case, this caused white smoke to come from the front-left wheel well and left the vehicle inoperable after a complete electrical failure. The vehicle could not be shifted into neutral for conventional towing. It had to be transported using a wheel lift and dolly, equipment that can be difficult to find. I was stranded for hours at night. A…
Fuel/Propulsion System · reported Aug 11, 2026
Car stalled/ went into limp mode 4 separate times for fuel pressure issue. Is not drivable, does not accelerate, throws erroneous error codes. The recall Y91 covers this issue for 2020 Stelvio. When I contact Mopar they say it is not open on my vin. How is this possible?
Engine · reported Jul 13, 2026
Engine light came on. I was told by the first dealership that the coolant was mixing with the engine oil. There was also a vehicle at the shop there for the same issue. after doing some research online, it appears that this is a bigger issue. I bought the car at 20,000 miles and this began happening around 52000 miles. Given the low mileage, this is something that should not be happening to a newer car.
Engine · at 44,000 miles · reported Jun 29, 2026
The contact owns a 2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio. The contact stated that while driving on two occasions at undisclosed speeds, the check engine, oil, and the Automatic START/STOP System Unavailable warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer twice; however, on the first occasion, the failure was not duplicated. During the second visit, the contact was informed that the coolant was mixing into the engine oil, which caused the engine failure. The contact was informed that several unstated parts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the…
