Consumer Description

I AM SEEKING ANSWERS FROM FIAT USA. THE TRANSMISSION DESIGN FOR THE FIAT 500L TREKKING IS UNSAFE. I HAVE HAD THREE TRANSMISSION SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 2015. THE FIRST TRANSMISSION BROKE APART WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE SECOND AND THIRD STOPPED WORKING AFTER CLUTCH OVERHEATING, SHIFTING, AND COMMUNICATION LOSS. FIAT PLACED A FOURTH TRANSMISSION IN THE VEHICLE AND I REFUSE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE BEEN IN SOME DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATIONS BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS. FIAT RESPONSE "WERE GOING TO FIX YOUR CAR REGARDLESS IF YOU AGREE WITH US".
