2019 ALFA ROMEO GIULIA Complaints

EXTERIOR LAMPS (HEADLAMPS/TAIL LAMPS) DO NOT TURN ON WHEN WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE ON. AS BOTH THE EXTERIOR LAMPS AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE USUALLY SET TO AUTOMATICALLY TURN ON AND OFF AS APPROPRIATE (USING DUSK AND RAIN SENSORS), IT'S QUITE PROBABLE THE DRIVER WILL FORGET TO TURN ON THE EXTERIOR LAMPS WHEN THE WIPERS TURN ON, FOR INSTANCE. FURTHERMORE, MOST ALL CARS I HAVE DRIVEN WITH BOTH RAIN SENSORS AND AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS, ACROSS NUMEROUS DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN BRANDS, DO HAVE FUNCTIONALITY WHICH TURNS ON THE EXTERIOR LAMPS (HEADLAMPS/TAIL LAMPS) WHEN WIPERS ARE ACTIVATED, FURTHER COMPLICATING THE ISSUE WITH ALFA ROMEO - IT IS THE DRIVERS EXPECTATION FOR EXTERIOR LAMPS TO TOGGLE ON AND OFF AUTOMATICALLY IN ALL SITUATIONS, BASED ON PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE AND ALSO THE EXPECTATION THAT AUTOMATIC LIGHTS WILL AUTOMATICALLY TURN ON AND OFF WHEN NECESSARY.

TAKATA RECALL. ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING AND IT PROMPTED ME TO GET THE ENGINE SERVICED. I COULDN'T EVEN SHIFT THE GEAR AFTER THE VEHICLE STOPPED. WORTH MENTIONING, BEFORE THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY BROKE DOWN, I CAN'T ENTER THE APPLE CARPLAY SCREEN EVEN THOUGH THE OPTION WAS SHOWN. BESIDES THIS, THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEMS REBOOTS ITSELF EVERY NOW AND THEN.
