"Poor build quality stilo"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Upper glove-box broken on picking up vehicle.
Rear axle replaced at 60 miles due to fault.
Power steering ecu replaced at 100 miles due to failure.
Buzzing from dash at 70 m.p.h.dash sub-frame replaced at 250 miles.
Car wandered to the left tracking adjusted.
Steering wheel not central this was adjusted.
Rattling from rear of car all trim clips replace, but still rattling.
Passenger side central locking button keeps coming loose still not fixed.
Engine very sluggish when cold on pick up still not sorted.
Various rattles 2800 miles waiting to be fixed I won't hold my breath.
General comments?
Yet again abysmal build quality from fiat.
1.6 engine a bit underpowered and sluggish at low revs, but fine on a long run.
Good equipment levels.
Good price.
Poor fiat dealer service again.
