In owners' own words
I am filing a complaint in regard to recall 93c for my 2017 Alfa Romeo. The dealership/manufacturer has failed to provide me with a fix, parts or even just a loaner car due to the safety hazard. My car has gone limp mode several times on the highway at speeds of 70mph. This is unacceptable. Fuel/propulsion system
In october 2023 while driving the fuel pump suddenly lost power resulting the vehicle to stop dead in the road causing a major safety issue which could have resulted in a tragic accident. Todate (1/31/2024) a replacement fuel pump can not be located. Fuel/propulsion system
when driving at highway speed car stalls. When you pull over car will not restart. Codes that t come up are: U0415,P008A,P062A,P0087 which point to a fuel pump error. This has happened 5 times while driving on highway and is very dangerous. Fuel/propulsion system
