NHTSA complaint #11727913

Owner complaint summary

Despite the seriousness of the outstanding recall (25V-586), which Stellantis acknowledges can result in a sudden and complete loss of engine power at high speeds, Alfa Romeo/Stellantis have provided exactly zero updates in nearly 8 months since the recall was announced. In speaking with my dealer, I’ve learned that Alfa Romeo/Stellantis were initially providing vague estimates for when they expected a recall fix to be available but have since stopped providing information to the dealers altogether. The manufacturer’s behavior in the face of such a serious safety risk is alarming and leads me to question whether a fix is actually even under development or will ever be available. Without action or the threat of action by the government to force the manufacturer to comply with their obligations to vehicle owners I have no confidence that this serious safety issue will be satisfactorily addressed at all, much less in a timely manner.
