"I do love it, even it always has problems"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

It always has an electronic problem.

The engine is very hot when in traffic jams (approximately 100 C).

General comments?

Dealer should give more professional service than today.

The dashboard is not suitable for the tropic of cancer, it always broken or melts.

I am from Malaysia and own a Fiat Tempra 2.0ie Auto. I completely agree with the review that the dashboard is not meant for the tropical weather, as it tends to melt and crack. However, I have one irritating problem, whenever a picture like a "typewriter" (as I do not know whats its called) lights up, I found that the auto transmission does not change gears whether higher or lower. As I bought this car secondhand, it did not come with a manual. I did sent it to a Fiat distributor here, but after spending close to RM5,000.00, the problem still exists.

I love the car due to its performance and handling, but this problem has taken the fun out of it. Can you please give me some advice.
