Attention California Consumers…
Attention California consumers who own a 2012 FIAT 500 through 2015 FIAT 500, gas or electric. The California Lemon Law Legal Group has identified recurring FIAT transmission problems and other common defects that may qualify you for significant compensation. Depending on your situation, you could be entitled to thousands of dollars, including a full buyback or replacement car under the lemon law in California.
Lemon Law Lawyers in California Notice a Lemon Vehicle – the FIAT 500.
Our lemon law California lawyers have found that a high percentage of FIAT 500 cars sold in CA between 2012 and 2015 have recurring defects. In fact, according to Auto Guide, FIAT is the manufacturer with the highest number of lemon law claims – with one filed for every 76,800 cars produced.
Some of the most reported FIAT vehicle problems include:
- Drivability concerns
- Defects that have manifested into a no-start issue
- Engine stalling
- Burning smell
- Loss of power
- Engine or power shut-down
- Warning lights on the FIAT 500 dashboard
- Gearbox issues
- Shock absorber problems
- Fuel filling problems
- Overheating warning
Moreover, common automatic transmission problems for the FIAT 500 include shifting issues, engagement delays, and slipping. Owners also describe unusual noises when turning, overheating engines, and persistent instrument cluster warnings—including the check engine light (CEL), or airbag light (SRS).
If you’re dealing with these issues, you may have a lemon car. Consulting a FIAT lemon law lawyer can help you understand your rights and potential remedies.
Known FIAT 500 Lemon Law Problems.
FIAT knows these issues exist, and they have tried numerous software updates to resolve common transmission problems with FIAT 500s. They have also issued recalls and Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) with a FIAT recall list of more than 50,000 defective vehicles sold between 2010 and 2013.
But despite these repair attempts, many of these vehicles remain in need of permanent repair. FIAT has demonstrated an inability to remedy the FIAT transmission problems and defective conditions.
If your FIAT 500 has been to the repair facility on two or more occasions, or in the repair shop for a total of 30 or more days, you may be entitled to a California lemon law buyback or replacement vehicle. In addition, the manufacturer must pay your FIAT lemon law lawyer fees!
Even if the repair facility temporarily fixed your FIAT 500 after multiple repairs, you may still qualify for California lemon law if you experience problems again. To protect your rights, we recommend speaking with an experienced lemon law attorney as soon as possible.
