I purchased a 2016 Fiat 500X in December 2016. I am a home care nurse so I drive a lot. I have had this same issue since buying this car and it's been in and out of the shop. It is now out of warranty and I am having to pay out of pocket. Here is the story: When it rains heavily, in Arizona, my electronics in my car go haywire. According to autonation, I have had the car in approximately 9 times. My power steering becomes disabled and my airbags become disabled. This time, I was driving down 7th street at 7:30am and this happened. I was luckily able to get the car to stop. No one seems to care what is eventually going to happen to me, is that I get killed. This car is a lemon. I need help before I die.
