Finally got a call from Fiat customer care. Long call but to summarise - have to take the car to the dealer when the problems are present. Pointed out a number or reasons why this is not sensible:
Some are intermittent and therefore cannot guarantee they will present themselves or that stop/starting the car clears some of them
Have to book the car in which can be several days ( or weeks if loan car required) - so have to run with all the wrong settings: Kmh - not a good idea
Dealer technicians are not even familiar with how the car operates and its many functions so how can they be expected to fix them.
Explained many others, inc motoring journalist - long term test Autocar, experiencing some of the same issues - not interested.
Cannot tell me when/if Fiat will be issuing any/next software update.
Bottom line is not interested - its for the dealer to resolve.
Andy, would be very interested to know your software version following recent service.
All very disappointing as it goes well, is fun and meets our requirements - BUT its making think do I really want to keep the car and the hassle of trying to resolve the many problems.
