ALFA ROMEO Complaints

My car has had numerous issues/errors and drivabilty concerns over the last 3 years with the automatic torque vectoring (ATV) system. The vehicle has unstable/unusual driving when the system is malfunctioning and the system does not store any error codes when the car is turned off. The vehicle has been to 2 different dealers more than 6 times and they are unable to find the root cause. I have to drive straight to a dealer to have the codes read as soon as there is a malfunction because it all gets erased when the car is shut off. This is a safety issue that the manufacturer cannot figure out how to fix on my car.

Sunroof Exploding, I was driving down a smooth California freeway at about 70mph..It was about 72 degrees out, I had my A/C at about 65 degrees, Sunroof closed, along with all windows & all of a sudden, my Sunroof exploded..I had glass coming down on me & flying around cabin..I had a few small cuts, luckily I had big full sunglasses on, as 3 days before I had eye surgery..My car does not have a scratch on it as it is in mint condition, 39,700 miles on it..Nothing had fallen on sunroof, had not gone under overpass & something dropped! I know how a flying rock will travel, it follows the airflow..Look at the top of any car & you will find no chips or scratches from a rock..Yes, the front of your car or maybe a glancing chip on a windshield, but not on top of car! I have looked up on internet & have seen a good number of same problems with with Alfa Romeo & other brands.. I took my Alfa to my dealer who always services my car & they said, to bad, out of Warranty..It is your problem! Alfa Romeo says my car is 4 months outside warranty & will not cover the cost of the EXPLODED Sunroof Glass.. When is a Sunroof glass Exploding a warranty item? This is a design flaw / problem & EXTREAMLY dangerous when it explodes with no warning.. Talking to Larry Dominique, Senior Vice President of Alfa Romeo, they all say, never heard of this problem, when of course they DO!!! Alfa Romeo Not wanting to take care of my problem & saying they have never heard of it happening before & that it is out of Warranty is a VERY Dangerous Joke!! I am writing to you / NHTSA to get a response & this NEEDS to be investigated immediately!! you / NHTSA has been notified as of today April 13, 2023 at 2pm PT...My car can be inspected at anytime & pictures available. I want & deserve a response about my issue ASAP!

When driving vehicle it randomly goes into Limp mode and gives an “electronic throttle module error”. This in turns decreases the power of the vehicle significantly and causes you to move over lanes as to not cause traffic. This issue is common for a lot of Alfa Romeo Guilia owners.

The brakes failed on the car causing my vehicle to crash into my home. The airbags did not deploy. The vehicle is available for inspection and is currently at the dealership. Alfa Romeo has sent out a special investigations team to inspect the vehicle and has escalated the issue to their legal department. Due to the failure of the brakes, I could have killed myself or others. There were zero warning lights prior to the failure. The vehicle is located at Northside Imports in Spring, Texas.

Leasing car since November 11, 2023. Car has been in service four times for various problems regarding engine light on, throttle problems, gas emission problems, headlight not working, heater not working, I am very anxious and fearful of driving car. Dealership has had car in for service more than I have had car in my possession.

Body control module While driving in rain, received multiple incorrect messages on dash screen, horn began to beep. Unable to turn horn off until parking and disconnecting the negative battery cable. Had body control module replaced. Two weeks later, driving in rain: multiple warning lights appeared. Monitor said passenger and driver doors were open-they were not. Gas gauge became 'unavailable,' displaying only empty tank. Lights flickered on and off in cabin. Dealer said this was never a recall issue. Alfa says it was but the recall 'expired, so not eligible to fix' This is recall number U36. Obviously still a problem.
