Fiat 500 2014 problems
The Fiat 500 (Italian: Cinquecento, pronounced ) is an economy / city car that was manufactured and marketed by Fiat Automobiles from 1957 until 1975. It was sold as a two-door semi-convertible or saloon car and as a three-door panel van or estate car.
Launched as the Nuova (new) 500 in July 1957, as a successor to the 500 "Topolino", it was an inexpensive and practical small car. Measuring 2.97 metres (9 feet 9 inches) long, and originally powered by a rear-mounted 479 cc two-cylinder, air-cooled engine, the 500 was 24.5 centimetres (9.6 inches) smaller than Fiat's 600, launched two years earlier, and is considered one of the first purpose-designed city cars.
In 1959, Dante Giacosa received a Compasso d'Oro industrial design prize for the Fiat 500. This marked the first time a Compasso d’Oro was awarded to an automotive manufacturer.

Common Fiat 500 2014 problems
The Fiat 500, a popular compact car known for its retro Italian design and affordability, has been reported to have several common problems by owners. These issues can affect various components of the vehicle, including the clutch, suspension, engine, and power steering system.
One of the most frequently reported problems is clutch issues, which have been a concern for many Fiat 500 owners. Fiat had to recall nearly 8,000 Fiat 500s due to a problem with the clutch diaphragm spring, which was prone to failure and resulted in an inability for drivers to change gears. This problem typically occurs around 35,000 miles and is characterized by difficulty engaging the clutch pedal and a lack of pressure on the clutch pedal.
Suspension problems have also been reported, particularly in models manufactured between 2012 and 2015. Drivers have complained about a clunking noise coming from the front of the vehicle, especially when driving over uneven surfaces and potholes. This issue is often associated with the vehicle's strut mounts becoming worn prematurely.
Engine overheating is another problem that has affected Fiat 500 owners. An overheated engine can be caused by various factors, such as a coolant leak, a damaged water pump, or a clogged coolant hose. Key indicators of this problem include white smoke coming out from the exhaust pipe. If you suspect your car engine may be overheating, it is essential to pull over and switch off the engine immediately. A mobile mechanic can then troubleshoot the problem for you, with the average quote for a mobile mechanic call out on a Fiat 500 being £79.07 when booked through WhoCanFixMyCar.
Power steering problems have also been reported by Fiat 500 drivers. A loss in power steering can be noticed by a slow or stiff responding steering wheel, or most commonly, a puddle of red liquid below the car, indicating a power steering fluid leak. Fiat has had to recall several models due to this problem, which was caused by faulty wiring below the steering column, making the steering wheel difficult to control. Power steering problems can be dangerous if left unrepaired, so it is crucial to address this issue promptly.
In summary, the Fiat 500 has several common problems that owners have reported, including clutch issues, suspension problems, engine overheating, and power steering problems. Being aware of these issues can help Fiat 500 owners detect and address them before they become more severe.

This occurred in another vehicle that was taken and towed , except for with that vehicle I jump started the vehicle and it restarted perfectly. I am not near the jump start cable, as I am leaving the country for school. I am currently trapped in a strange city. There are people who keep threatening to have the car towed, but I will be repairing the vehicle. the Battery is a Duracell ultra SL147H6M 12 VOLT SERIAL NUMBER 840821033760. The store was a Batteries plus in Los Angeles CA, the store owners were Hattian or East African , at the time it seems that I was the victim of a ubiquitous sexual harassment case, now being investigate. There are other elements to the circumstances as the car being altered possibly in transit by Car Max from Brooklyn Park Minnesota to Memphis Tennessee possibly by Hispanic individuals as the inventory from "Autozone" shows that the car was made in Mexico, not that it was not, it is just that I thought that the guys telling me this were doing so trying to entrap me, so that they could tow the car, that was what they bothered me about the entire time.

VISIBILITY/WIPER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2019-06-14
- VIN: 3C3CFFJH5ET
- Components: VISIBILITY/WIPER
- Summary: BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER WINDOW REGULATORS FAILED ON MY 2014 FIAT 500GQ AT 21250 MILES WITHIN 1 WEEK OF EACH OTHER. THE FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED ON 06/14/2019. I REPLACED THE REGULATOR MYSELF ON 06/22/2019, BUT AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY I ROLLED UP MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED THERE AS WELL! NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED. THE FAILURE WAS THE SAME FOR BOTH. WHEN ROLLING UP THE WINDOW WHEN THE WINDOW REACHES THE TOP OF THE TRACK AND STOPS AGAINST THE DOOR FRAME THE REGULATOR MOTOR CONTINUES TO RUN FORCING TOO MUCH TENSION ON THE INTERNAL MECHANISM. IN BOTH INSTANCES THE SAME TYPE OF FAILURE OCCURRED ON MY VEHICLE, THIS EXTRA TENSION CAUSED THE CABLE TO BE PULLED FREE FROM THE TOP PULLEY OF THE REGULATOR. A CRUNCHING/GRINDING NOISE IS HEARD AS THE CABLED IS PULLED THROUGH THE INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF THE DOOR, FOLLOWED BY THE WEIGHT OF THE WINDOW FORCING THE WINDOW TO DROP FULLY OPEN. THIS COULD BE VERY HAZARDOUS IF IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING DURING ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS AS THE DRIVER HAS NO ABILITY TO RAISE THE WINDOW. BOTH OF THESE INSTANCES OCCURED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING BUT STATIONARY, THE FIRST WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT ON A CITY STREET, THE SECOND WHILE IN MY DRIVEWAY.

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2019-02-25
- VIN: 3C3CFFAR9ET
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: BOUGHT MY FIAT FROM 1ST OWNER WITH 40,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. 2ND DAY OF HAVING THIS CAR MY FAMILY AND I GOT IN OUR VEHICLE & CLUTCH WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR & WAS STUCK IN GEAR. 3 MONTHS LATER I FOUND THE RECALL ONLINE FOR MY VIN. WE HAD TO PUT DOT 3 BRAKE FLUID IN EVERY OTHER DAY IN THE BEGINNING AND AT THIS POINT WE PUT IT IN AT MINIMUM 3 TIMES DAILY JUST TO BE ABLE TO SHIFT GEARS PROPERLY. WE MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE FIAT SERVICE CENTER TO HAVE THE RECALL SITUATION RESOLVED BUT THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PARTS WHICH HAS TAKEN 3 WEEKS FOR THEM TO ARRIVE. AFTER A WHILE WE COULD NOT SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR. ABOUT 2 WEEKS AFTER LOSING 2ND GEAR, WE LOST 3RD GEAR. TRYING TO PULL ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND MERGE INTO TRAFFIC GOING 65 MPH IS VERY DANGEROUS. ALL THE WHILE DEALING WITH THE LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID FOR THE CLUTCH AND NEVER KNOWING WHEN IT WILL JUST NOT SHIFT INTO THE NEXT GEAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US IN THE MIDDLE OF A 4 LANE HIGHWAY WHILE TRYING TO DOWNSHIFT TO TURN. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT STOP SIGNS AND STOP LIGHTS & TURNING IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWN. MY RECALL APPOINTMENT IS FOR 9AM FEBRUARY 26TH. THE EVENING OF THE 25TH I AM LEAVING MY HOME AND EXIT MY DRIVE IN 1ST GEAR WHILE I AM ABOUT TO START UP A HILL, I ATTEMPT TO SHIFT INTO 4TH GEAR-NOTHING. MY GEARSHIFT JUST TURNS IN CIRCLES FREELY. I AM STRANDED BETWEEN TWO HILLS IN PITCH BLACK WITH ONLY DITCHES FOR A SHOULDER. WE COULD NOT GET IT UP THE HILL BEHIND US SO WE PUSHED IT HALFWAY UP THE ONE IN FRONT OF US ACROSS THE ONCOMING LANE OF TRAFFIC INTO A DRIVEWAY. NEEDLESS TO SAY I CAN NOT MAKE MY APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE RECALL PARTS REPLACED SINCE MY CAR IS NON-OPERATIONAL & I AM NOT HAVING IT TOWED 100 MILES TO MY FIAT DEALER. I TEND TO THINK THAT THE RECALL ISSUE IS THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM WITH MY GEARS GOING OUT. THIS CAN NOT BE JUST A COINCIDENCE. THESE THINGS MUST BE LINKED.

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2019-01-15
- VIN: 3C3CFFBR7ET
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: I HAD THE CLUTCH REPLACED ON THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION OF MY 2014 FIAT 500 SPORT DUE TO THE RECALL IN 2016. ON 1/15/19, I LOST USE OF THE TRANSMISSION IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR JUST BEFORE I GOT HOME. AS THE CAR LIMPED TO THE CURB OUTSIDE MY HOUSE, I COULD SMELL THE CLUTCH BURNING. THE STICK SHIFT FELT COMPLETELY BROKEN AND JUST FLOPPED AROUND ON THE CENTER CONSOLE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED VIA FLAT BED TO MY FIAT DEALER/SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE SHIFTER CABLES BROKE AND THE CLUTCH DESTROYED. I HAD EVERYTHING REPLACE TO THE COST OF $2,436.60. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET WHILE IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE HAS 40,507 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND WAS PURCHASED NEW. I FIND IT VERY HARD TO BELIEVE THAT AFTER DUE DILIGENCE ON MY PART TO HAVE THE CLUTCH REPLACED VIA THE RECALL, THE CLUTCH AND TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE.
