Hi Guys,

My 2024 was just lemoned after months at the dealership. All in all was a simple enough procedure, but the dealerships do not want to deal with the Fiats at all. Either case I have the OEM basket and OEM Auto Dim Mirror that I had purchased to install, but didn't get to keep the car beyond 2000mi. Let me know if anyone has interest in either the basket or mirror.

Hi @brdikmd I'm very sorry for your loss. I'm sure everyone here would like to know any details you could provide about the failure(s) that led to its lemon classification.

Also, are you saying there's an OEM auto-dimming rearview mirror which can replace the manual one that comes with the base "inspi(RED)" model?

Thanks for the details. I never would have guessed a car would be "lemoned" by a head unit, which I'd think would be a widely shared part.

I can't help but wonder if it was just a computer glitch that they haven't figured out how to clear yet. They still haven't figured that out for a 2013-19, even after 13 years to learn it, during which we've figured it out on our own just by trial & error.

Yeah, in the pre-2020 they tell customers the main drive battery pack has suddenly died & it's $56,948.93 to fix it, even when all it needs is a $5 crescent wrench to disconnect the 12V battery for 5 minutes.

A dealership near me knew less than the AAA driver, about how to get one out of P with a dead battery, even though it's right in the little handbook that comes with the car.
