(Thursday 10th August 2006) The engine caught fire while the car was parked in our driveway. It had been sitting there unused for over a week while we were on holiday. We had not even been in the car since returning, it simply self combusted damaging the car beyond repair and causing extensive cosmetic damage to our new house.
No problems up until the above incident.
Oh my God! That is a shame. I have been reading comments about Fiats going wrong, someones brakes even failed on their Punto. Your experience was extreme. I hope you kicked Fiat up the *** for this!
