On October 13, 2026, while driving my 2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti home from work at night in dry weather, the vehicle’s lights began flickering and then the headlights went out while the vehicle was moving. I suddenly could not see the road and nearly had an accident. The problem is intermittent, and the lights later resumed operating, but the vehicle is unsafe to drive at night. This vehicle has a history of electrical problems involving flickering lights and loss of power. Alfa Romeo and FIAT of Maple Shade previously replaced the Body Control Module (BCM) for the same original problem, but the problem continued. The dealership later kept the vehicle for more than one month. Repair Order 032539 states that the vehicle had been towed in with “no power” and “electrical issues” and that multiple communication codes between modules were found for low voltage. The dealership replaced an aftermarket battery with an OEM Alfa Romeo battery and performed a proxy alignment, but the electrical and lighting problem has returned. The dealership also advised me that water had been entering around the windshield and affecting the vehicle’s electrical system. The windshield was subsequently replaced, but the lights continue to flicker and have now gone out while driving in dry conditions. I am concerned that moisture exposure, wiring, connectors, the replacement BCM, the charging system or another unresolved electrical defect may cause the headlights or other electrical systems to fail again while the vehicle is moving. No collision or injury occurred, but the sudden loss of headlights created an immediate risk of a crash. I am reporting this defect because the same safety-related electrical problem has continued despite replacement of the BCM, battery and windshield.

Vehicle: 2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia, VIN [XXX] Recall: NHTSA 25V-586 (FCA/Stellantis Recall 93C): Fuel Delivery Module / fuel pump I received FCA's safety recall notice for recall 93C. It states the fuel pump can fail and cause a loss of drive power, which can cause a crash without warning. The notice tells me to schedule the free repair with an authorized Alfa Romeo dealer, but the remedy is not available to me in practice. I contacted every authorized dealer in my area, all 1.5 to 2+ hours from my home: •Livermore Alfa Romeo, Livermore, CA: 21 customers ahead of me, no date given. •Alfa Romeo of San Jose, San Jose, CA: 12 customers ahead, about a 4-month wait. •Alfa Romeo of Marin, San Rafael, CA: no parts available. I contacted Alfa Romeo Premium Care (case number [XXX]), and they referred me back to the dealers. FCA has offered no interim fix, no loaner or rental, and no firm repair date. I have to keep driving a vehicle with an acknowledged loss-of-power defect for up to 4 months. I am asking NHTSA to review whether FCA is supplying enough remedy parts and dealer capacity for recall 25V-586, and whether owners facing long delays should be given alternate transportation.

My Alfa Romeo with VIN [XXX] has an active recall 93C (NHTSA Recall 25V586) related to the Fuel Delivery Module. The recall specifically states that this issue can lead to a sudden loss of drive power while driving and possibly result in a crash. Due to the closure of the dealership in San Antonio where I live and purchased the car, the nearest Alfa Romeo authorized service center is in Austin, Texas. This is a distance of 125 miles from my home and involves primarily driving on highways with 70 mph speed limits. Because this is a critical safety recall, I have already scheduled an appointment with this dealer for the repair; however, when I contacted Alfa Romeo to inquire about arranging a tow from my home to the authorized repair center.,they would only cover the cost of towing the vehicle up to 15 miles. They quoted that I would need to pay an out of pocket cost of more than $1000 to have the vehicle towed for the recall repair. Forcing me to pay over $1000 or drive my vehicle 120 miles at highway speeds while there is an open stall/loss-of-power recall creates an unreasonable safety risk and illegal financial barrier. The vehicle currently has 128,000 miles on it which significantly increases the risk of the FDM issue occurring. Under 49 U.S.C. § 30120(a), manufacturers are required to remedy safety defects without charge. By closing local dealerships and requiring an out-of-pocket payment of $1,000 for towing overage to reach the nearest operational Alfa Romeo dealer, the manufacturer is violating the 'without charge' requirement and failing to provide a reasonable safety remedy.

Vehicle is affected by FCA recall 93C / NHTSA recall 25V-586 for Fuel Delivery Module / fuel pump failure that can cause fuel starvation and unexpected loss of motive power. NHTSA recall lookup shows the recall is incomplete and the remedy is not yet available. The vehicle is already symptomatic. It has active DTC P008A / low-pressure fuel system pressure too low, check engine light, and Start/Stop unavailable. It also has drivability symptoms: inconsistent acceleration, hesitation/poor response, and sometimes failing to restart after stopping in traffic, such as at traffic lights. This creates a risk of the vehicle being disabled in traffic or losing motive power without adequate warning. The dealer stated final recall parts are not available. Dealer offered only a no-charge interim fuel pump control module replacement, but quoted approximately $1,117 to replace the low-pressure fuel pump assembly / Fuel Delivery Module and O-ring. FCA/dealer has not provided written authorization for no-charge interim FDM replacement, has not guaranteed reimbursement if the owner pays now, has not provided alternate transportation, and has not provided a written safety determination that the vehicle is safe to operate while symptomatic. This issue appears long-known. FCA issued a P008A low-pressure fuel system service bulletin in 2018, NHTSA opened investigation PE24003 in January 2024, and recall 25V-586 was not filed until September 2025. Despite that history, a symptomatic vehicle remains without an available final remedy.

NHTSA RECALL #25V-586 Around September of 2025, I notified Alfa Romeo Customer service that my vehicle was experiencing symptoms of this recall. Symptoms include but are not limited to severe fuel pump whine that fluctuates with RPM, as well as intermittent LOMP. The whine is audible 100% of the time. The LOMP occurs intermittently, primarily shortly after starting the vehicle. On multiple occasions, I have to pull my vehicle to the side of the road because it is unable to effectively move under it's own power. Along with this LOMP, symptoms experienced are a heavy misfire along with a few service messages such as "Auto start unavailable, service electronic throttle, and service engine" along with a flashing check engine light. The fix appears to be power cycling the battery so that the fuel pump primes multiple times. I have called Alfa Romeo multiple times about this issue over the last few months, but all they tell me is that they cannot do anything until a remedy is available. Unfortunately, given the wait, symptoms have progressively gotten worse.

The contact owns a 2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia. The contact stated that while at a complete stop on several occasions, the engine abnormally revved to 1,100-1,400 RPMs. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed low speed on a ramp, the vehicle accelerated unintendedly and failed to decelerate while the brake pedal was depressed. Additionally, the contact stated that while at a complete stop at the red light, the engine revved, and the vehicle accelerated unintendedly while the brake pedal was depressed and struck another stopped vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. No police report was filed. The contact's vehicle sustained minor damage, while the other vehicle did not sustain damage. There was no warning light illuminated. There were no reported injuries. Both vehicles were drivable after the incident. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was test-driven, but the failure could not be duplicated. A third-party contractor, sent by the manufacturer, performed an evaluation of the vehicle and sent the raw data report to the contact. The contact noticed that the crash incident date listed on the report was March 4, 2026, while the incident occurred on April 4, 2026. The contact informed the third-party contractor of the error, and the contact was concerned that the contractor had pulled the wrong data because the incident date listed was incorrect. The manufacturer later sent a summary of the evaluation report to the contact, stating that the reported incident was not due to the manufacturer's responsibility. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 26,000.

NHTSA #25V-586 Recall #93C 2017-2019 ALFA ROMEO GIULIA, 2018-2019 ALFA ROMEO The vehicle has been experiencing inconsistent fuel readings, an electronic throttle control fault, and a service engine warning. When the electronic throttle control fault occurs, the vehicle loses power, stalls, and struggles to accelerate, which raises concerns about its suitability for commuting. On several occasions, while driving on highways, my vehicle has experienced loss of power, resulting in a significant reduction in speed. This has necessitated extended commute times on streets due to the apprehension of causing accidents. Consequently, I have had to miss several workdays in an attempt to address this issue. Initially, I resorted to using rental vehicles out of pocket until a solution for this recall was found. However, despite my efforts, there has been no resolution, and I am left with concerns about driving my vehicle and potentially causing an accident due to the lack of safety measures or the ongoing financial burden of renting vehicles until a solution for the recall is implemented. Despite multiple attempts to schedule a repair, there has been no resolution, and the date for bringing the vehicle in for inspection continues to be postponed. Despite multiple attempts to schedule a repair, no resolution has been achieved. The date to bring the vehicle in for inspection has been repeatedly postponed, and the date for inspection is now April 1st, 2026.

i have been waiting for months received a letter from Alfa Romeo sent them my details, for them to get in touch with me when the remedy for this potential dangerous fault to be rectified. Many crashes have taken place, as the car could potentially cut out whilst on the highways. For Alfa Romeo to leave me in a state where this car could cut out without warning at any stage is not unacceptable. I have to use my car for work, and I am having to resort to using other means with the fear this car could cut out on me on the freeways. They have failed to respond to my email or have they sent me a followup letter to get my car booked in and fixed.

After towing my vehicle to Alfa Romeo of Mariettea on November 4th for recall 82B (seatbelt), my car immediately developed throttle hesitation, check-engine light, and start/stop warning light. These issues were not present before the service. Recall 93C (fuel delivery module) remains open, but the timing of these new problems indicates they arose from the 82B service. The dealership and Alfa Romeo have refused interim assistance, leaving my car unsafe to drive. Requested Actions: 1. Inspection and repair of the post-service throttle and engine issues. 2. Interim transportation (loaner or reimbursement) while 93C is pending. I have documented all communications with the dealership and Alfa Romeo Customer Care. The problems appeared immediately after the 82B recall service and were not present before.

This is a follow up for complaint #11693742 issued on October 16, 2025. I picked up my car from the dealership (Jim Ellis Alfa Romeo Atlanta) after the nearly $5k repair that they stated was due to an Oil Pump failure not the Fuel Pump failure as indicated by the Stellantis Recall, only to find that they falsified information on the paperwork description. They left out the information that I gave them when I told them that the dashboard displayed the following warning lights: ETC, Auto Start-Stop Unavailable, and Check Engine. They wrote only the Check Engine light was reported. They falsely stated that only the Check Engine light was illuminated, when in reality all three of the aforementioned warning lights were displayed the very morning that I had the car loaded on the tow truck. Please investigate Stellantis/Alfa Romeo for possibly misleading and falsifying information in order to have consumers foot the bill for repair for a fix for power loss due to a Fuel Pump failure when in actually it is an Oil Pump failure, or an Oil Pump failure that they are falsely claiming a Fuel Pump issue. This repair cost me about as much as the cost of a used 2018 Alfa Romeo, and the company is making enough money of this repair such that when they do honor the recall repair, then it won't cost them anything. It seems easy to me that if they is a Fuel Pump failure that is resulting in a recall, then the easy fix (that Stellantis should cover the cost) is to replace the fuel pump.

At night, with headlights set to AUTO, the headlights (right and left) will randomly turn of and on while driving. This could render my vehicle momentarily invisible to other drivers around me. Dealer confirmed the issue is the headlights. 70,000 mile service was just completed prior the the issues fist occurrence. No warnings or messages before the first incident.

While driving 15-20mph, warning lights: Check Engine, Auto Start-Stop Unavailable, and ETC, all began to sequentially cycle. The car's ability to accelerate significantly decreased, even achieving 30-40mph was laborious. Once on the highway, the car was significantly slower and the power was obvious. The car took a long time to reach 55mph and was going over that speed. I had the car towed to dealership the next day, for I was afraid that it was the fuel pump failure and felt the car wouldn't make the 75mi drive. After a few days, the dealership said that the ETC Code wasn't the fuel pump, but the oil pump causing the power loss. They said that Alfa Romeo had many models have oil pump failures, and it requires engine tear down to replace the oil pump and cost about $5000. Alfa Romeo Customer Care stated there is no recall for this problem, so one has to pay the $5k for the repair. I think Alfa Romeo knows the true cause of the power loss problem and the remedy, and using the oil pump as a loophole to make the consumer pay for a problem that they should cover the cost of repair. My car is at Jim Ellis Alfa Romeo in Atlanta, Georgia.

I took pictures of the error codes prior to erasing and provided them to the service department for their review. Warning lamps and messages flashed simultaneously when my vehicle ceased to function. While driving my 2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio September 16, 2025, the engine ceased to function under legal normal driving conditions for no apparent reason. The engine immediately turned itself off, and both the steering wheel and vehicle was locked in place (unable to move). This event jeopardized me, and other affected drivers' lives. It was only due to the quick reaction of defensive driving attentiveness that prevented the potential collision of multiple vehicles including loss of life/lives. I had taken my vehicle to the same service department previously in November 2024 for the exact same type of issue (ceased vehicle, locked in place steering wheel and vehicle). However, because error messages were erased, the service department would not be able to know what steps were needed to fix the problem and that I should bring back my vehicle with error codes intact should this occur again. I have this in writing on my invoice. No police report involved as no physical accident/damage occurred, and everyone who was involved including myself left without further incident, and very traumatized.

UNKNOWN, driving down a busy road and check engine light popped up and service electronic throttle system as well car stalled in the middle of the road and would not start when I tried to it would crank but not start. I noticed this incident was occurring in the past when I was close to half a tank of gas but now it’s occurring when I’m at 3/4 tank. I already addressed the possible issue of being a weak battery as I had to spend $250 on a new battery and the next day it happened again. After going through the forums and speaking with dealers they all have the same diagnosis that the fuel pump is going out. I would buy a fuel pump and replace it myself but you have to replace the module with it and have to have a very expensive scanner to sync the two together.
Defect investigations
NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation opened these reviews into vehicles including this one.
- Low Pressure Fuel Pump Assembly Failure
On January 8, 2024, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation (PE24003) to assess allegations of loss of motive power resulting from low-pressure fuel pump failures in certain MY 2017–2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia vehicles. The subject vehicles are equipped with 2.0L 4-cylinder and 2.9L…
On January 8, 2024, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation (PE24003) to assess allegations of loss of motive power resulting from low-pressure fuel pump failures in certain MY 2017–2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia vehicles. The subject vehicles are equipped with 2.0L 4-cylinder and 2.9L 6-cylinder turbocharged engines and manufactured by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles US LLC (FCA US). Reports received by ODI alleged stall and loss of motive power at speeds above 25 mph, with several reporting that the condition resulted in permanent disablement of the vehicle. Many reports described recurrence of the failure after an initial repair. During the investigation, ODI determined that the subject vehicles were equipped with fuel delivery pumps supplied by Vitesco Technologies Germany GmbH. ODI also confirmed that MY 2018–2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio vehicles were equipped with the same pump. ODI’s analysis identified an elevated failure rate associated with the original pumps installed in the subject vehicles. The failure mode involves interruption of fuel flow, resulting in fuel starvation and an unexpected loss of motive power, typically with little to no advance warning. In responses to ODI Information Requests submitted in April and June 2024, FCA US reported 2,162 customer reports (complaints, field reports, and legal claims) and 464 warranty claims related to the alleged defect. Combined with ODI’s data, the investigation identified 1,900 unique VIN experiencing failures. Review of the combined data confirmed one crash and no injuries, fatalities, or fires. On September 9, 2025, FCA US filed recall 25V-586, covering 29,467 MY 2017–2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia vehicles and 24,382 MY 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio vehicles, all equipped with the suspect Vitesco fuel delivery pump. FCA US reported that the remedy is under development, with dealer notifications planned on or about September 16, 2025, and owner notifications scheduled to begin on or about October 29, 2025. The recall action initiated by FCA US addresses the alleged defect identified in this PE. Accordingly, ODI is closing this Preliminary Evaluation. The agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances, including an evaluation of the remedy once available. To review the ODI reports cited in the Closing Resume ODI Report Identification Number document, go to NHTSA.gov.
