Bonnet release catch stuck.
I have had this 1.9 JTD 3 door Stilo for almost 18 months from new and I still think it is great.
The performance is very good, especially considering it is a diesel, although I wouldn't describe it as Fast. It certainly whizzes me up and down the motorway at illegal speeds without any problems.
It is comfortable, and for me has been very reliable. I have had no major problems and, in fact, the only issue that has needed dealing with was a sticking bonnet catch.
I bought the 3 door version, but now I have a new daughter I am almost certainly going to trade it in for a Stilo Multi-wagon. I can't fault the Stilo for value for money.
I have the Fiat Stilo Multiwagon 1.9 JTD 115 2004. I have had a number of problems including:
Failing central locking system locking me in and out of the car. This problem presented itself from new and was sorted out in about 3 return visits to the dealer.
Squeaking steering which required extra lubrication.
And I have been plagued with a problem where the turbo fails in wet weather. I have returned on a number of occasions with no resolution as yet.
