trouble for 10 continuous years now. Gearbox problems are its worse defect. The van has been on the road for 10 years and is currently on its third gearbox. And now the gearbox has broken down again. This time it an 'Actuator' will cost $10 K and one has to wait 13 weeks for it to arrive from Italy and then pay $2 K to have it fitted. If its not the gearbox its the diesel injectors or the door keeping on alarming or a host of other problems. In 10 years it has been off the road for repairs for about 2 years of that time. Has cost me thousands in repairs......my mechanic is a happy man though. Conservatively has cost my business $150 in sales. As far as I am concerned ALL FIATS should be towed into a dealers yard ( well I would be surprised if it drove there ) then doused in petrol and had a match chucked on it......thats all they are good for......a giant candle. Well once bitten twice shy now I am wrecking a vehicle with 130 K on the clock has never been driven hard but is utterly useless. . And it will never see the road again. A WARNING TO ANY PROSPECTIVE BUYER......STAY WELL AWAY FROM A FIAT. THEY ARE COMPLETE AND TOTAL RUBBISH.
