The steering hangs or sticks. It started a couple years ago and was reported to the dealer where it was purchased. I was told it does that. It started doing this around 50 to 70 when first noticed and now does it at all speeds. When it first started it would come and go away slightly but never completely. Now it is all the time and any speed. At highway speeds it makes the vehicle steer slightly from side to side in the lane since you can't make slight steering corrections. When trying to make steering corrections the steering will stick or hang and then release abruptly causing the vehicle to move slightly back and forth in the lane. At times it is bad enough to resemble a very drunk driver over correcting. It is bad enough that we don't feel safe driving the vehicle and it only has 30,000 miles on it. It's a shame fiat/chrysler won't acknowledge there is a problem. We have had a few close calls but no accident yet due to this problem. Also the problem will occur anywhere at any speed except turning. It seems to happen mostly when going straight. When in a turn as long as the steering wheel is in motion it doesn't hang but if it stops and you start to turn further or go back it will hang again. Please look into this before someone does get hurt.

My car's gear shift was stuck in park. It would not budge. Sometimes i smell an odor like something burning.

Car only has 6,000 miles and it has a faulty occupant restraint module that causes air bag warning to come on it's been coming on and off for a couple of weeks and made appointment to get it checked on 8/12/19 and they found problem 8/16/19 and of course warranty ran out 8/1/19

Summary facts: january 15, 2019 - traveling in a state adjacent to where the fiat was purchased. Traffic was at a virtual stand still and after coming to a complete stop, after about 20 minutes driving, white smoke was emitted from the engine area. There was a distinct burning smell, like electrical wiring burning. The air conditioning was on; when the white smoke and burning smell was observed, the a/c was turned off and the burning and smoke ceased. Besides the driver, a passenger in the fiat observed the white smoke and experienced the burning smell as well. The dealer that sold the fiat and where the fiat has been serviced was called. Their advice was to exit the motorway as soon as possible and call the local fire department to ensure there was not an ongoing electrical fire which might cause the fiat to explode. The first available exit was taken and the local fire department called. Upon their arrival, no electrical fire was observed; they advised taking the fiat to a qualified repair shop immediately to be examined and tested. Later, the a/c was tried, but did not seem to work. The a/c was then turned off until the fiat was taken to the fiat dealer. The technician in the dealer service department supposedly ran a full range of diagnostic tests on the fiat and in particular the a/c, including testing electrical components, and freon levels which were okay, indicating no freon leaks. They tested the functionality of the a/c; they indicated it was performing as it should. Therefore, the fiat dealer's service department could find nothing wrong with the fiat and could provide no plausible explanation why white smoke was being emitted from the engine area and the burning smell. Their only advice was to bring the fiat back in for service should the same situation re-occur. This raises doubt about the safety of this fiat.

The car is showing the same symptoms described in the 2014 500l transmission recall. It will either stay in the parking gear or have significant delays in switching gears. We first saw the issue with a parked, cold car. First use in the morning. It was never moved from there other than being towed to 2 different shops. Currently the vehicle is at a shop waiting for a second estimate for repair. The first diagnostic came from a fiat dealer followed by a verbal estimate at more than $3900. See attached. This vehicle was built on jan 2015, shortly after the 2014 recalled models. The recall did not come out until 2017. Could these 2015 models have the same problems that led to the 2014 model recall?

I have owned three of these 2014-2015 fiat 500l's all three have had problems with the sun visors not staying up nor forward. They will randomly drop while you are driving blocking the view through the windshield. In each case the problems were on vehicles with under 40k miles and as low as 27k miles. This would usually happen while the vehicle was in motion but also happened at times while sitting at a red light waiting for it to change.
