2017 ALFA ROMEO GIULIA Complaints

The contact owns a 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V586000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle unintendedly went into LIMP Mode, and the vehicle lost automotive power. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle with the Push-to-Start feature, the engine hesitated while turning over. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed; however, the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.

My vehicle is affected by Recall 93C / (NHTSA 25V-586 )for a fuel pump defect that can cause the engine to stall while driving. This safety issue has already occurred — my vehicle stalled while in motion, creating a dangerous situation. The car is currently unsafe to drive. Description of the Incident: I scheduled a recall appointment with the Englewood Cliffs Alfa Romeo dealer after reporting that the car had stalled. When I arrived, the dealer attempted to charge me a $450 diagnostic fee even though the visit was specifically for a federally regulated safety recall. I declined the fee and left because I did not feel comfortable being charged for recall-related inspection. Manufacturer Response: I contacted Stellantis Customer Care. They stated that they “have no control over how the dealer operates” and that they would require diagnostic documentation from the dealer before providing rental assistance. This means I would still be required to pay the diagnostic fee, even though the issue is recall-related. Reason for Filing: The dealer’s refusal to perform recall-related inspection without charging a diagnostic fee prevents me from addressing a known safety defect. The manufacturer’s position leaves me unable to obtain recall service unless I pay out of pocket. I am concerned that this creates a barrier for consumers attempting to address a serious safety recall. Requested Action: I am requesting NHTSA’s review of this dealer’s handling of Recall 93C and Stellantis’ response requiring paid diagnostics before providing recall support. I would like NHTSA to ensure that consumers can obtain recall inspections and remedies without being charged diagnostic fees.

Manufacturer Recall Number93C has been almost a year and the remedy still not yet available!!

The contact had not experienced a failure. 

The vehicle is experiencing multiple system malfunctions involving the engine performance, fuel system, and electronic throttle control, including engine shaking while idling, activation of the check engine light, a “start/stop unavailable” message, limp mode (inability to switch between driving modes), and illumination of the electronic throttle control warning light. One dealership suggested the issue may be related to an open fuel pump recall after noting that previously replaced spark plugs were heavily carbon-fouled, indicating excessive fuel combustion; however, another dealership diagnosed the engine as “scored” and recommended major repair. This diagnosis is disputed, as an independent mechanic performed a borescope inspection and reported no visible internal engine damage. The issue is intermittent—some days the vehicle operates normally, while other days it becomes undrivable. This creates a safety risk, as the vehicle may unexpectedly enter limp mode, limiting acceleration and drivability in situations such as merging or navigating traffic. I have not been involved in any accidents related to this issue and avoid driving the vehicle when symptoms are present. The vehicle has been inspected by both a dealership and an independent mechanic, but not by police or insurance representatives. Warning lights and symptoms, including the check engine light, electronic throttle control light, and start/stop warning, began appearing prior to the drivability failure and around the same time I received notice of the fuel pump recall. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

Vehicle completely lost power and quite running in the middle of the desert in Arizona. This relates to Saftey Recall 93c. I had to have the car towed and repaired in Scottsdale, AZ. I have been told that this repair (which was expensive) might not remedy the problem and it could reoccur. It's been over six months since the recall was issued and yet no remedy is available and I have not received reimbursement for the repairs I had to have done to get my vehicle running. I think six months is enough time given that I cannot trust the reliability of my vehicle due to this serious problem. When a vehicle just "turns off" in the middle of the freeway it poses a huge safety risk both to the occupants and to other drivers in the area. So my complaint is that it's taking far too long for Stellates to produce parts to remedy this problem.

I was driving on the highway and my car starts sputtering, I figured I pull over and turn my car off and on. My car seemed fine and I continued to drive home from work. As soon as I got off the highway my car completely shut off mid ride, stalls out and my steering wheel locked up. I was able to get my car turned back on and get back home. Filled with anxiety at least. Luckily I have a code reader in my car as soon as I pulled into my driveway and the codes showing where P008A which is directly related to a fuel pump/ fuel delivery issue. This happened on February 28th. I have been scared to drive the car since

The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair.

The vehicle was diagnosed with fuel pump failure. The contact was informed that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was scheduled to be repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was unknown.

the vehicle has read off warnings seconds from simply stopping and cutting off in traffic. this has happened at least two times now. it may say full throttle service and flash lights before simply slowing down and the check engine light flashing while on the highway unable to speed up no matter how far down on the gas pedal I push. has been taken to dealer several times. problems started soon after purchasing vehicle. On 3/1/2026 while leaving church service, my family and I were on a major highway with the speed limit at 65 mph. The vehicle just slowed down without giving any power and could not get it up to the speed to continue with traffic. This vehicle could put me and my family at risk for a possible dangerous situation.
