Hubcaps easily fall off while on freeway and when turning. At times the seat belt doesn't fully retract itself, causing it to become loose.

Locking mechanism on driver's side seat belt failed. Buckle popped open and cannot be locked. Must use passenger side locking mechanism in order to protect driver. If two passengers are in the front seat, only one can be protected due to this failure. Locking mechanism appears to be jammed or locked up and will not "click" when seat belt tongue is inserted per factory specifications. This is a dangerous defect and manufacturer states cannot fix until "parts are available", estimated November 2014.

A vehicle in the right lane made a U-turn, crossing the left lane causing the Fiat to T-bone the vehicle making the U-turn. The seat belt did not restrain the Fiat driver and the driver contacted the steering wheel with enough force to cause a significant compression injury to the sternum. The driver was transported by ems to a hospital. The vehicle could not be driven and suffered nearly $13,000 damage. Earlier in the drive, the Fiat 500 driver had to rock forward at an on-ramp to release the seat belt in order to view approaching traffic via the left outside mirror. Apparently, the seat belt does not or did not reengage after this movement leaving it free and the driver unrestrained. Air bags did not deploy.
