CarComplaints.com Notes: Considering sales numbers and data that monitors complaints-per-make, there appears to be an unusually high number of issues with the 2012 Fiat 500. Perhaps that isn't surprising -- it is the first model year of the car, and those tend to have a higher incidence rate.
Of particular concern is the number of engine and powertrain complaints submitted to NHTSA.

I purchased my 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth for $30,000 new from a dealership in November 2013. I just had my car inspected in April 2016 and there were no issues. August 2016 and odd smell came through the AC every time I turned it on and sometimes it would only blow hot air. I called the dealer where I bought it and they said my warranty expired in April 2014 and they no longer service or sell Fiat anymore because the service center said "those cars are a piece of s#!t sell it and buy something else". So now I had to find another dealer. The new dealer I'm going to has had my car for 3 weeks now and claims it may be an AC Condenser that is going to cost me $1,400!!
Oh and the reason they had my car for three weeks is because the repair guy working on my car quit and took my keys with him. I finally got this answer after leaving several messages with the service department and not getting a call back.
