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.

wHILE DOWNSHIFTING FROM 5TH TO 4TH, THE CLUTCH PEDAL REMAINED ON THE FLOOR AND THERE WAS NO PRESSURE. WHEN I INITIALLY DEPRESSED. I LIFTED TH PEDAL WITH MY FOOT AND THERE WAS STILL NO PRESSURE ON MY NEXT GEAR SHIFT. RAISED THE POEDAL AGAIN AND THE CLUTCH PEDAL RETURNED TO NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR AND THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE TECHS CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THERE IS NO SIMILARITY OF DRIVING CONDITIONS WHEN THIS OCCURS. PUMPING THE CLUTCH PEDAL SEEMS TO HELP RESTORE PEDAL PRESSURE TEMPORARILY.
