INTERMITTENT EXTERIOR MARKER LIGHT FAILURE. FRONT PASSENGER MARKER LIGHT AND REAR DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKE LIGHT FAIL TO OPERATE ON OCCASION. THE LIGHT SENSOR IN THE GAUGE CLUSTER ALERTS TO FAILURE. WHEN LATER INVESTIGATING, ALL LIGHTS APPEAR TO FUNCTION PROPERLY.
THE WIRING HARNESS GETS CRIMPED WHEN IT GOES FROM THE MAIN BODY OF THE CAR INTO THE HATCH CREATING SHORTS AND MALFACTION OF ELECTRIC COMPONENTS. AS, DOES THE REAR WIPER HOSE. WHICH LEAKS AND EMPTIES INTO THE WIRING HARNESS. THIS HAPPENS EVERYWHERE, AT ALL TIMES.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FIAT 500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER/TURN SIGNAL LEVER FRACTURED AND FELL OFF. THE CONTACT USED THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND DROVE HOME. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,954.
AFTER DEALER REPLACED FAULTY REAR MAIN SEAL IN JULY/AUGUST 2013, REAR WIPER BLADE WOULD ACTIVATE WITH CONTROLS IN OFF POSITION, CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO MOVE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROL ARM UP AND DOWN, AND THEN REAR WIPER BLADES WOULD STOP. ALSO THE CAR STARTER WOULD INTERMITTENTLY MAKE A ELECTRICAL NOISE AFTER TURNING THE KEY AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START, THEN I HAD TO TURN KEY TWO TO THREE TIMES TO START CAR. AFTER TWO MONTHS WITH ABOVE, IN COLD WEATHER BELOW 35 DEGREES THE STEREO, CD PLAYER, BLUEME SYSTEMS WON'T WORK! IT ONLY STARTS TO WORK AFTER THE CAR AND SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT REACHES 40-45 DEGREES. CALLED INTO DEALER AND HAVE APPOINTMENT FOR CHECKING ALL AND REPAIR/REPLACE COMPONENTS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND SAFELY. *TR
