Won't shift out of park or reverse, it's a known issue that hasn't been addressed. There were two recalls, one in 2014 and one in 2017 - the two options were to reprogram or replace part. My car apparently only had the reprogramming done and still experiences the issue but the recall is considered closed at that. Many other drivers have experienced the same issue.

Manual transmission refused to shift while vehicle was moving. Car was stuck in neutral, so I was able to coast to curb. Had it been in gear, it would probably have been stuck in that one gear. Thinking it was just a broken cable, I took it to Telle Tire in Maplewood. They discovered the broken bushing and called a FIAT dealer for a replacement. The dealer informed them that this was a common problem, but that the part was not available separately; we'd have to buy the whole transmission ($6,000!), which they had in stock. Telle was able to locate an aftermarket bushing and I authorized the repair, which will run a little over $600. This has not been completed yet. There were no warning signs of the failure.

So the dealer fixed the transmission / power train recall in 2020, my car is now doing exactly what the recall states, getting stuck in park, asking me to put engine in neutral and then drive without the car moving, so on and so forth. Fiat, as well as the repair dealer northside imports, is refusing to fix this issue as they state the car is out of warranty, and they feel they fixed the recall. This car only has 73k miles on it. The other issue of complaint is that the wire melted on the blower fan for the ac unit. Smelled burning wires in the car, and both fiat and dealer state that is normal wear and tear. That is not, as it could have caused a fire inside the car, luckily i was able to pull over and put out the smoldering wire. I need this fixed, and fiat is refusing to cover. They stated i need a new power train module and transmission which cost 12k which is 4k higher than the actual value of the car. During this whole time, fiat and the dealership was recommending that i purchase a new car. I want to know how i can get this fixed or the manufacturer to acknowledge they have a safety issue. I also got charged 326 dollars just for them to diagnose the issue. nothing fixed. 326 dollars to plug in a machine for 15 minutes. This is very wrong.

The Gear Shift Module is failing. It does not change gears from park to reverse or drive saying "gear unavailable". Service engine lite comes on and the red transmission symbol appears. I feel unsafe driving when this happens. I took it to a friend who is a mechanics and his diagnostic tool showed "P1CB1 gear shift activator 1 engage failure". This problem occurs with other customers complaints with this Fiat 500L model. I have to go to dealer and get this problem corrected because it is not safe to drive with the gears shift unresponding. I can image the bill I will be face with after all this.

Purchased this vehicle from manhattan alfa romeo Fiat in Dec 2017. It had 17000 miles and I purchased and extended warranty with zurich for power tain from manhattan Fiat. The car had 1 recalls for transmission issues on in March 2014 and one in March 2017. The car now needs a complete new transmission and it only has 52457 miles. The repair is over $7000. The warranty is claiming that it will not cover the transmission because it is outside parts of the transmission -hydrallic supply unit but the part can only be replaced as a whole unit. I called Chrysler/Fiat headquarters and they would not help me. The car has had transmission issues from when it was made. All the recalls and issues with the car they should be able to help me. The extended warranty not covering the transmission repair because they deem it an outside part when it is part of the transmission. Who can a consumer turn to. This is fraud.

While driving check engine light will come on and state "check transmission" and "manual transmission unavailable" then the auto shifter for gears will start shifting really rough or not at all. Once you turn off the vehicle it will not start again unless put on a battery charger, as it's stuck in 1st gear (per the shop). Took it to a shop, they stated it appears to be related to the first recall that I had completed and the dealer says they can't do anything since recall already done.
