Consumer Description
ARM REST SNAPPED APART WHILE DRIVER WAS ADJUSTING SEATING POSITION WITH ELBOW ON THE ARM REST. THERE IS A NOW SHARP METAL BAR PROTRUDING FROM THE PLASTIC INTO THE DRIVER ELBOW AREA. CHRYSLER/FIAT DEALERSHIP SAID THIS DEFECT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULD COST $182 TO REPAIR. THIS SEEMS LIKE A MINOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD DEFINITELY BE COVERED UNDER THE FIAT WARRANTY.
