Recent 2017 Fiat 500 complaints

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

Structure · at 20,000 miles · reported Jan 2, 2024
The contact owns a 2017 Fiat 500. The contact stated that the driver's side and passenger's side door handles fractured and detached from the inner side of the handle. The contact called the local dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the contact was informed that water had entered the door handles. The door handles were replaced. The manufacturer was not notified about the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 20,000.
Power Train · reported Dec 27, 2023
After a sudden stop (no impact), the car would no longer go into or come out of gear while running. When the car is not running it will still shift normally. The repair shop initially thought it was the slave cylinder but the problem persisted. They then changed the clutch and are now recommending replacing the inner CV axle boot. The problem described is similar in symptons to the existing recall on 2012-2016 Fiat 500s and the partial recall on 2017 Fiat 500s. It seems logical that all of these issues are somehow related to a flaw in the design or manufacturing.
Air Bags · reported Aug 7, 2022
The light that informs of an air bag problem goes on. The dealer ship repairs and a week later the light goes on again. Back to dealership,fixes problem? Light goes on in a day. This thursday 8/11/22 will be the 4th attempt to solve the air bag issue.
Electrical System · at 32,000 miles · reported Nov 19, 2020
Car stopped and quickly slowed down without warning. I had very little time to steer car to the side of the road. The rbs/ABS system started slowing the car on its own. I had only been going 30 MPH, however had I been in a center lane on a freeway at 60 MPH, I would have not been able to get it off the road.
