Seats · at 5 miles · reported Oct 23, 2018
Bout the car and was cleaning the seats (I'm a smoker so wiping the ashes off) and noticed a depression/indentation in the driver seat and passenger seat as well as a plastic cord inder the seat cover on the passenger side. Had the dealership look at it and they said they would fix the problems, well the dealership made the seats even worse doing a crap job on the covers. Very dissatisfied with fiat as well as the dealership.
