ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

The Electronic Throttle control and check engine lights came on suddenly, and then the car lost power. It would not turn off or turn on. The gear shifter did not work. It just stalled. Could not engage or disengage emergency brake. Steering wheel locked. I got it towed to Alfa Romeo of Glendale and they told me the fault was with a faulty fuel pressure sensor, which they replaced, telling me if the error recurred they would need to replace the fuel tank. The safety of everyone was put at risk because the car abruptly lost power and could not be moved off the road.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Potential Consequences:

When going over road bumps or hitting a pothole, the headlight adjusters pop out of alignment and is unable to be adjusted. This is the second headlight replacement for the same issue after my first pair of headlights were replaced under a tech service bulletin. The replacement lights which should have fixed the issue did not fix the issue and I know have a second pair of headlights that need to be replaced. This is a safety hazard as the lights point upward into oncoming traffic when the adjuster/clip breaks internally.

VISIBILITY/WIPER

Potential Consequences:

When attempting to close an open sunroof, something failed and the sunroof will no longer move. I had to drive 2 hours at highway speeds with the open panoramic sunroof, which caught a lot of air and which I was worried would blow off or be damaged by debris since it was now raised up and exposed. A mechanic has looked at the sunroof and is unable to operate it manually or electronically. Alfa Romeo does not have a manual method to close the sunroof in case of failure, and the electric motor only makes a flapping sound when used, as if the cable connecting the motor and the sunroof had snapped. There were no warnings or indications that anything was wrong or that any issues were developing. I normally do not use the sunroof and opened it for the first time when this happened. The cost to repair this issue seems excessive, on par with a full turbocharger replacement.

Defect Description:

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

While driving on the interstate, the car triggered a check engine light, reported that start/stop was unavailable, and ETC throttle needed servicing. Error codes report a turbocharger underboost. This is a known issue experienced by Alfa Romeo Giulia owners involving the turbo wastegate actuator. The actuator arm gets worn at the linkage to the wastegate, introducing play and reducing turbo pressure. There was no prior warning that this would happen, dealer did not confirm this issue until the second time the car was serviced for this issue, and the only stated solution is to pay for and replace the entire turbocharger.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

My son was driving the vehicle on I75 at 68-70 MPH yesterday around 5:45 pM. The car started stalling.I was driving my other vehicle Volvo XC 90 right behind. I noticed his vehicle slowed downs drastically and within 4 seconds he was on left shoulder and stalled completely and would not stop. The vehicle went from 70-40-20-0 all in 4 seconds. Something very similar happened back in May of 2022. The Alfa Romeo dealer replaced the fuel pump in September/October of 2022. Stalling happened again yesterday. This is a very dangerous and known issue and Alfa Romeo manufacturer is not doing any recall or addressing this issue. Yesterday’s incident would have custard an accident which would have lead to injuries or even worse fatality When I called Alfa Romeo manufacturer’s customer service all they had to say was that the vehicle is not under warranty and they won’t cover the repairs. Please do a major recall on Alfa Romeo vehicles and make the manufacturers be responsible for the issue and make them to do a recall & repair. This is a very serious issue with Alfa Romeo cars. Stalls in the middle of the road.
