It sounds like it could be a transmission issue or a problem from the car sitting for a while. It's a good idea to have a mechanic check it out.

    2014 Green Bean

    Sadly, I traded in my 2014 Fiat 500L in Verde Bosco Perla.

    I really enjoyed this car as it helped me pay my final semesters through college driving UBER/Lyft and also took me and friends on many trips to concerts up/down the east coast.

    Only mods I did to it were upgraded speakers and a Forge Motorsport blow off adapter plate.

    I really enjoyed the power and drive train on this car but it was time to go back to a true sedan where I didn't feel like I was driving a mini school bus

    Enjoy your FIATs if you still got one!

          That is how I fell in love with it, the paint has so much depth! Now the interior, that gray was IMPOSSIBLE to keep clean!

                      I'd never seen that color on a Fiat before, but yesterday one went past in the other direction.

                          We looked at the dark green color, back in 2014. We want a white roof. It was our 2nd choice. You couldn’t get a white roof, with the panoramic sunroof here.
                          Instead we went with the solid dark gray 500X. With the sunroof.

                              I got mine used with about 30,000 on it, and put almost 118,000 miles on it.

                              Issues I had were:
                              Electrical - Dash lights would shut off from time to time.
                              Backup Camera - sometimes would fail usually after many hot consecutive days.
                              Radiator mount - broke off and tore my coolant hose off, dumped all my coolant and had to tow home. I then fabricated a thick aluminum bracket to replace it with.
                              Rear brakes - apparently fiat service knows that some had a defective piston in the rear brakes that causes severely uneven brake pad wear.

                              Other than that it was a great car, I was just tired of driving a mini-bus, wanted a sedan again.
