Two body shops confirm that "All Fiats have to be re-painted because the wrong sealer was used. Requires taking the entire body down to bare metal and re-paint." Estimated cost to cure: $8,500-$9000.00. Fiat should have recalled. Unacceptable.
Update from Sep 28, 2020 Both body shops say they see SEVERAL FIATS A DAY with disintegrating paint. I'm a senior on SS and cannot afford to repaint the car, can't sell it.
