Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING AND AT A STOP LIGHT. THE ENGINE SUDDENLY FLASHED AND SAID NOT IN GEAR. IT WAS IN DRIVE. IT SAID SWITCH TO NUETRAL. I DID AND BACK TO DRIVE. THE CAR WOULD BARELY GO. LEFT ME MOVING AT 15 MPH IN THE MIDDLE OF 55 MPH TRAFFIC. THEN IT SEEMED TO WANT TO LUNGE FORWARD AT THE NEXT RED LIGHT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE AND THE FIAT DEALER SAYS THERE ARE NO RECALLS. HOWEVER I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE. I WAS ALMOST STRUCK TWICE.
