The contact owns a 2016 Fiat 500X. While driving various speeds, the gear selector erroneously switched from drive into neutral, which caused the vehicle to lose power. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (rick case Fiat/Chrysler of davies, Florida), but the cause of the failure was unable to be diagnosed. In addition, while driving in reverse, the brakes malfunctioned, locked up, and the vehicle would not move. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the brake pads were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was informed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 16V529000 (power train), although the failures were identical. The failure mileage was 700.

Vehicle goes into "limp mode" anytime wheels slip, untill computer clears no throttle or motion, vehicle is inoperable for over 5+ seconds and then accelerated at whatever position throttle is at. Dealer and mechanics say all new Fiat 2 and 4wheel drive all have this issue and they cannot fix. I pulled out into traffic, wheel slipped and went into limp in middle of lanes untill it cleared and took off at half throttle and almost got smeared by traffic. Dealer says all Fiat have same problem and only solution is to give a lot of lead time before entering traffic and try not to accelerate as to make wheels slip when road conditions may cause slipping. This has happend pulling out into traffic and while on ramps, hills. If on curve or hill vehicle will go int "limp mode" and will just slide down hills and through curves!!!

My 500X that I purchased in July of 2016 has shifted gears to the + symbol 4 different times while im driving. It started in Sept but I thought I had it a bump or something. It happened again 3 times I did go back to the bettenhauser dealer for service 3 times and they said I had to not turn the car off and get to them before they closed because they could not see codes to the problem.at this point in time they gave me a loaner to drive for about a week while they drove the car. They said they found nothing. I took my car back 2 weeks ago and I drive with a prayer that it doesn, T happen again while im in traffic as it did before scaring me to death. Do you have any suggestions. I see no recalls on this problem so far but something is wrong with my car. Thank you. All this happened when I was in traffic on the city streets of Chicago. I did come very close to having a terrible accident three times.the service dept has incorrect mileage on dates I was in for this problem. Correct date for 10/18/16 mileage 2,378 for 10/26/16 incorrect mileage 7,531 correct mileage for 1115/16 2,728.
