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.

Clicking when reversing and when in first gear, this will be the second transmission rebuild if that is the problem. Can't believe Fiat can't make a drivetrain that will last at least 100,000 miles of highway driving?
