Defects ? - Warranty !

[Stormi]

I had in my Bravo some problems. Rear lights got moisted + the Fiat logo
and the steering wheels leather peeled away. Got them all via warranty.

Any defects concerning the 500?

Same thing with Fiat badge! And moist in rear lights! And some people have had some troubles with the coldstarting of the 1,2. Has been a recall on brakes on 1,2 with rear drum brakes, also recall on possible fuel leak on to exhaust manifold, 500 stickers on centercaps of the original alloys seems to peel off after a while, B&M can be a bit trouble sometimes, some cars has had an unnormal use of engine oil, and probably lots of other stufflollol But no worse than other cars:icon_thumleft:

Quite a few defects then, but all replacecable ;)

Forgot about the flashing milage thinglol I think the flashing milage is the only thin all cars got and maybe the moist in the Fiat Badge.... The other faults has only happend on a few cars, but on enough of them to be a subject on various forums... Mine has been close to perfect:icon_thumleft:

Mine has been affected only by the flashing mileage thing. And occasionally squeeky rear brakes. So no recalls on mine so far! Havent really been using the B&M, but it seems that this flashing mileage might have something to do with it, or at least it seems to happen more often when I have my phones blue tooth connection with the car on.

My car has created a new noise that can be descriped only as a quiet, plasticy creak or a rattle. Its coming from somewhere near the steering wheel and plastics surrounding the ignition and indicator etc switches. And its there only when you turn the wheel, more specifically everytime the wheel turns at a certain point. Its not a loud sound and you can barely notice it if the stereo is on, but its definitely there and its annoying as hell!!! This happened after the weather warmed up a little bit, from maybe -4 to +4. Any idea what coud be causing this?

[Stormi]

Have the same in my Bravo ! Kind of WRC- rally car sound .... Kvit-kvit
-kvit .... while turning the wheel. It goes away :) The weather, moist etc...

Hello, my little 500 left the factory on 17/11/09 will any defects that caused recalls on earlier built 500's be sorted on mine, or is it a wait and see kind of thing, cheers

Allready made recalls will be fixed on your car for sure, as it is expensive for Fiat to have recals:)
