The Gear Shift Module is failing. It does not change gears from park to reverse or drive saying "gear unavailable". Service engine lite comes on and the red transmission symbol appears. I feel unsafe driving when this happens. I took it to a friend who is a mechanics and his diagnostic tool showed "P1CB1 gear shift activator 1 engage failure". This problem occurs with other customers complaints with this Fiat 500L model. I have to go to dealer and get this problem corrected because it is not safe to drive with the gears shift unresponding. I can image the bill I will be face with after all this.

Purchased this vehicle from manhattan alfa romeo Fiat in Dec 2017. It had 17000 miles and I purchased and extended warranty with zurich for power tain from manhattan Fiat. The car had 1 recalls for transmission issues on in March 2014 and one in March 2017. The car now needs a complete new transmission and it only has 52457 miles. The repair is over $7000. The warranty is claiming that it will not cover the transmission because it is outside parts of the transmission -hydrallic supply unit but the part can only be replaced as a whole unit. I called Chrysler/Fiat headquarters and they would not help me. The car has had transmission issues from when it was made. All the recalls and issues with the car they should be able to help me. The extended warranty not covering the transmission repair because they deem it an outside part when it is part of the transmission. Who can a consumer turn to. This is fraud.

While driving check engine light will come on and state "check transmission" and "manual transmission unavailable" then the auto shifter for gears will start shifting really rough or not at all. Once you turn off the vehicle it will not start again unless put on a battery charger, as it's stuck in 1st gear (per the shop). Took it to a shop, they stated it appears to be related to the first recall that I had completed and the dealer says they can't do anything since recall already done.

Records indicate that the following recall was performed on my 2014 Fiat 500L VIN [xxx]: "item affected: Power train: Automatic transmissiondate announced: 03/04/2014description of recall:Chrysler group llc (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2014 Fiat 500L vehicles manufactured April 5, 2013, through January 22, 2014. In certain temperatures, moving the transmission shift lever may have a delayed effect or no effect on selecting a transmission gear." However, the problem is still unresolved. Every day we first start the car, nothing happens when we put it in gear, and we get an electronic statement that the "gear is unavailable". we have to move the gearshift between auto drive, reverse, and manual drive until something works, after which everything works properly. We believe that it is a software issue, and we do not want to have to pay $6,000+ for a replacement transmission! can this exact same recall be redone at no cost to us? information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

On Aug 19th my car went in for service due to the unsafe failures of items replaced during the 2 recalls. The automatic transaxle gear shift module and powertrain control module were both recalled and "fixed". yet on ocotober 7th 2020, I experienced the inability to shift and control the transmission gear selection. I had unintended directional movement. I experienced a diminished ability to accelerate and to maintain vehicle speed as expected. I was only going 20mph-40mph on streets. The car was switching gears on its on and stalling in traffic. When I would push on gas peddle it was rolling back while on an incline. What was most alarming was that as I tried to get the car home it would not accelerate as I pulled out into traffic. I attempted to put the car into reverse to get it into my driveway and it would not go into reverse. Obviously the recalls in both 2014 & 2017 failed to rectify the problem. The car has only been driven per Aug 19th's service recommendations, avoiding aggressive high speeds and when idle put in park to avoid over heating. I have driven it an average of 18miles a day since last serviced. Everything I am experiencing was supposed to be addressed in the two recalls. Unsafe car.

I was driving and at a stop light. The engine suddenly flashed and said not in gear. It was in drive. It said switch to nuetral. I did and back to drive. The car would barely go. Left me moving at 15 mph in the middle of 55 mph traffic. Then it seemed to want to lunge forward at the next red light. I do not feel safe and the Fiat dealer says there are no recalls. However I could have lost my life. I was almost struck twice.

My car has 77000 miles and now I am told my transmission is leaking fluid and the repair will be $4400. It has not been driving any worse than it always has. It says there are no recalls.

This car is extremely unsafe to drive cuz when I pull out into traffic I have almost gotten hit several times because the car wont accelerate. This car has always had a big problem accelorating

Had the car in N while going through a cash wash. Shifted to D but it would not go. Put it back in N then D and drove away. At the next traffic light, while in D, the computer screen advised to shift into neutral and back to R or D. the transmission light came on. While driving the panel light was, instead of showing D, showing each gear such as D1, D2 etc.

This morning I got into the car even tried to put it into drive but it said shift back to neutral then to reverse or forward. I tried just like it said and it still continued throw the error. After like three or four times it skipped first gear and shifted to second gear but the car jerked as soon as I stepped on the pedal. I turned it off for about an hour and then try it again and I had the same problem. This time I put it into reverse and actually went in reverse, then it allowed me to go into first gear. I checked the check engine light code and it threw a P1cb1 code which indicated it was something to do with the transmission. I'm trying to make an appointment with the dealership but for some reason they never answer the phone at the only one near me. But everywhere I'm looking and reading it looks like it's going to have to replace the transmission but cannot verify until I get to the dealership.
