I have had one for 5 years. Fiat stands for fix it again tomorrow. Trust me, it's true. Get rid now.

I am having major problems right now. As to the banging shockers; cost me £200, and about 2 years later, gone again.

Airbag; had the passenger side rewired, cost £40, one month later swapped to driver's side. I will fiddle with the seat position till it goes. Am reluctant to part with another £40, because it will probably then go to the rear seats!!!

Guys, about the airbag problem: under the front seat on both sides, it's an orange 3 wire connection. Open that, clean the dust off it, and put it back together, and it will work again for 3 months.

For airbag error, check the cable and connector under the passenger seat. Use contact cleaner, then secure the connection using a zip tie.

Afraid to go to mechanic in fear of discovering expensive intervention? And you aren't afraid that you might have your wheel or suspension malfunctioning while driving?! Totally wrong attitude...

The noise should be from silent blocks (not sure what's the proper name in English), looks like a tin can with rubber suspension in it.... Or a broken shock absorber holder.

The noise under your car is most likely to be the rear exhaust mount. I found this out myself by looking under the car and seeing a great deal of cable ties holding up the exhaust. Foolishly, I missed that upon buying the car. But luckily, with help from YouTube I have the part in the post and plan on fitting it myself.

The beeping however, I have no idea how to turn it off. I can't even work out how to change the time ATM!!
