Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)In 2019 my 2013 500e wouldn't start/take a charge. I towed it to the dealer and after more than a month and $2250 they replaced the PIM module and HV battery pack. Fast forward to 2022 and I received the SERVICE ELECTRIC VEHICLE SYSTEM error. I drove the car to the dealer. They are claiming the failure is the HV battery cooling system is leaking coolant in to the battery itself and the only repair is full replacement. They are also claiming the battery is not under any warranty at this time. Any thoughts or advice on next steps would be appreciated. I cannot believe the HV battery would need to be replaced twice in 3 years.
When putting gasoline at the gas pump, pump clicks off constantly. Makes you think the tank is full when it is not, Have to pump very slow. takes 10-15 mins to fill up and have to know how many gallons are needed.
WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FILL UP GAS AT A FUEL FILLING STATION THE CAR WILL NOT TAKE IN ANY FUEL FROM THE GAS STATION PUMP. IT REACTS LIKE THE TANK IS FULL BUT IT IS NOT. A VERY SMALL STEADY FLOW OF FUEL WILL FLOW (APPROX 20CENTS) AND THEN OVERFLOW AS IF IT IS FULL. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AT THAT THE GAS PUMP AND HAS ALSO CAUSED ME TO RUN OUT OF FUEL ON THE FREEWAY AS WELL WHICH COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. FIAT DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS ISSUE, BUT I AM FINDING 1000'S OF OWNERS ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE.
