ALFA ROMEO Complaints

Back in December 2025 my engine light had come on, upon bringing it to the dealership I had found out that the engine oil and the coolant were mixing. A repair was done to stop this from happening three months later the same issue happened only the previous dealership was no longer servicing Alpha Romeos so I brought it to the only dealer left a mass. I was told that they botched the repair at the previous dealer. Now, three months later from then my engine light is back on again and the same thing is happening. but since neither truly actually repaired the issue now, I’m being told that there’s an issue with my engine. From the beginning when I first brought it to the dealership, this was not an issue. I was actually told that the engine was not misfiring at all, and the engine appeared to be good.My car was not the only one there for this issue so clearly this is a known issue. I also began looking online and realized that there are a lot of people that have this issue so I did bring it to Alfa Romeo‘s attention I feel like at this point the dealerships are making it worse because they’re not fixing the actual issue. I’m also being told this time around that, it was only a temporary fix which I was never told the first two times that they fixed it. No vehicle with 50,000 miles should be having these types of issues. I feel like there is a bigger issue that needs to be addressed within the manufacturer.

I have not even 1000 miles on my new Tonale and my infotainment shuts down due to excessive heat. Service was authorized to install a new one and the same thing is happening. No back up camera, navigation or infotainment screen . It says too hot and shuts down. I am in Miami and I have virtually no system as it is not functioning. It's burning to the touch. I am offered no assistance and am told it is functioning as described . There is no cameras no navigation. I am In a rental car.

I have found a huge barrier to getting my brakes serviced as Alfa Romeo makes it impossible for an independent mechanic to acquire the necessary brake hardware to keep my car safely on the road. 2024 Alfa Romeo Tonale already has a formal federal safety recall regarding a brake pedal collapse defect. I am concerned that my vehicle, having less than 33k miles, already needs front and rear brakes and rotors even though I do not drive it in an aggressive or rough manner.

The contact owns a 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V586000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was contacted and confirmed that the part was not yet available. A second dealer, Kerbeck Maserati (100 NJ-73, Palmyra, NJ 08065); was contacted and it was confirmed the part was not yet available. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

The vehicle randomly has a yellow A! error code, then it loses power while driving, when going up a hill, sometimes barely makes it. No mechanics can figure this out and its a topic of complaints amongst numerous forums regarding this vehicle. Why isn't there a recall on this?

I was driving and the car gave an error showing service throttle position. Car went into limp mode. I pulled over out of traffic. Car drove but very slow. I tried to drive back home but the car died while I was in the turning lane. It would not start again. I used my autel scanner and received codes, p01ca, p008a, p00c6, p0300, p0303, p0302. I believe it is the fuel pump and fuel pump module causing the car issues. I believe it is the 93c recall for this car. It would have been very unsafe if I was driving on the highway and this happen. The car is currently at Champion Alfa dealership. I’m waiting for the service department to get back to me. I hope the dealership or Alfa Romeo will cover the repairs cost since it is a pending recall.

Rear window area is leaking into cab of truck. Appears to be coming from above the rear window. Has lead to water intrusion and possible electrical issues within window motor and nearby. Headliner area is also getting wet/holding water.

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.
