ALFA ROMEO Complaints

My son was driving the vehicle on I75 at 68-70 MPH yesterday around 5:45 pM. The car started stalling.I was driving my other vehicle Volvo XC 90 right behind. I noticed his vehicle slowed downs drastically and within 4 seconds he was on left shoulder and stalled completely and would not stop. The vehicle went from 70-40-20-0 all in 4 seconds. Something very similar happened back in May of 2022. The Alfa Romeo dealer replaced the fuel pump in September/October of 2022. Stalling happened again yesterday. This is a very dangerous and known issue and Alfa Romeo manufacturer is not doing any recall or addressing this issue. Yesterday’s incident would have custard an accident which would have lead to injuries or even worse fatality When I called Alfa Romeo manufacturer’s customer service all they had to say was that the vehicle is not under warranty and they won’t cover the repairs. Please do a major recall on Alfa Romeo vehicles and make the manufacturers be responsible for the issue and make them to do a recall & repair. This is a very serious issue with Alfa Romeo cars. Stalls in the middle of the road.

The battery shuts off the main screen making it difficult to navigate. The battery doesn't get charged adequately and that affects the electronic displays. This flaw could affect GPS, navigation as well as other essential electronic components.

Vehicle stalled loss power on highway while driving 70mph almost got rear ended. Was able to exit highway and park vehicle. Shut it off for 10 minutes started back up put in reverse car would move at all put it in drive still wouldn’t move. This is very dangerous I couldn’t have been killed. Check engine light came on and stayed on. Stop/Start stated unavailable and service engine soon

On 7/13/2023 while driving at about 40 mph with a half tank of gas the engine shut down and the car rolled to a stop. It took about 3 or 4 tries to restart the car over a span of 10 minutes. A scan of the codes at a repair shop indicated issues with the fuel pump. Check Engine Light came on when the incident happened. There are 11,000 miles on the car.

The car will shut off in traffic out of no where. While driving the cars speed randomly will decrease to 15 miles and hour on the interstate almost causing a crash. When the cars speeds decreases randomly it does not all you to accelerate. Therefore the car is just going 15 miles an hour on a highway of no less than 65 miles. This has happened multiple times in the last 2 months. I see there was a recall of the same vehicles for the same issue a few years ago but this vehicle wasn’t listed yet it is experiencing the same issues. Have spent countless dollars and the problem is still not fixed

Around 715p, today, May 29, my wife was driving the Alfa Romeo Giulia, and we pulled into our driveway. I was in the passenger seat and had my right elbow resting on the window sill (the window was fully open) and my palm was resting against the window frame. My wife pressed the automatic window up button as she was turning off the car. As the window started up, my forearm was trapped between the sill and the window frame. the pain was extremely intense, particularly from where the window kept trying to close. I yelled at my wife several times to hit the window down button. I could not get my arm out. Finally, I was able to pull my arm out scraping the skin. I feel that, if there had been soft tissue such as a baby's neck where my arm was, the tissue would have been crushed. After I pulled my arm out, the window did not continue to raise.

For absolutely no reason, my sunroof randomly exploded with no 3rd party influence such as a rock/animal etc etc. The music was at a low level where I could have easily had a soft spoken conversation if I would have had a passenger present.
