I own a 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia that recently received a fuel-pump-related recall repair under FCA Recall 93C / NHTSA Campaign 25V-586 at an authorized Alfa Romeo dealership. Approximately three days after the recall repair was completed, I was driving the vehicle in active traffic with my daughter when the vehicle unexpectedly began decelerating and lost drive power. I had to shut the vehicle off, and afterward the vehicle would not restart. The vehicle had to be towed back to the Alfa Romeo dealership. The service advisor subsequently advised me that the current problem was related to the fuel system and that the fuel-related component was being replaced again. The vehicle remains at the dealership while the repair is being completed. This is also the second time this vehicle has completely shut down while I was driving. During a prior incident, the vehicle became disabled on a busy roadway and police responded and blocked traffic around the vehicle because of the danger posed by its location. I am concerned that the Recall 93C repair did not adequately remedy the fuel-system defect, that the replacement component failed, or that the recall repair was otherwise connected to the subsequent loss-of-drive-power event. I have repair records, towing documentation and video relating to the current repair and will retain the dealership's final diagnostic report when it becomes available.
NHTSA complaint #11758057 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
My 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia lost motive power and was disabled multiple times the most recent on August 3, 2026 due to failure of the fuel delivery module — the same component and failure mode covered by Safety Recall 93C / NHTSA Campaign 25V-586. When I contacted the dealership, they confirmed the recall applied to my vehicle but advised that replacement parts were not available. No loaner or alternate transportation was offered. I was without my vehicle for 8 days and had to rent a vehicle at my own expense. FCA US filed this recall on September 9, 2025 stating that the remedy was still under development. Owners were left without a repair path for an extended period on a defect the manufacturer's own chronology shows it had been evaluating since 2023, and which had produced 437 complaints, 5 crashes, and 3 injuries by the time the defect was determined. Stellantis has twice declined to reimburse my transportation costs, citing that the visit was "recall work only" and that my factory warranty expired in 2021. My vehicle was not brought in for preventive recall service — it failed on the road because of the recalled part. I am reporting this so the delay between recall announcement and parts availability, and its cost to owners, is on the record for this campaign.

NHTSA complaint #11752339 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
CRITICAL FINANCIAL NON-COMPLIANCE REPORT regarding NHTSA Campaign 25V586 / Alfa Romeo Recall 93C. On July 16, 2026, my vehicle suffered a catastrophic loss of motive power and stalled on the highway due to the exact fuel pump module defect described in Campaign 25V586 (Bristow's Auto Repair Invoice #33733 confirmed code P008A and low fuel pressure at 349mBar). Because the vehicle was entirely inoperable, I paid $2,207.27 out of pocket for an emergency repair. Alfa Romeo Customer Care has twice formally refused in writing to process my pre-recall reimbursement claim, explicitly stating they will not pay until a factory remedy is commercially available. This is a direct violation of the mandatory claim-processing guidelines under federal regulation 49 CFR § 573.13. Manufacturer is unlawfully withholding federally mandated consumer reimbursement.
NHTSA complaint #11752109 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
Hot weather, longish drive, car lost power and started throwing codes. I have a code reader (because this has happened before) and the code reader blamed the problem on fuel delivery system. You issued a recall on this last year (25V-586) but there is not yet a remedy from the company. This car, and many like it may be dangerous to drive and may strand drivers -- as it would have done to me in the past had I need had the code reader and the means to re-set the computer once ambient temperature were lower. You may want to issue a reminder to them that this needs fixing and ASAP. Thanks.
NHTSA complaint #11748035 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
The vehicle is subject to Alfa Romeo Safety Recall 93C (NHTSA Campaign 25V586) for a defective Fuel Delivery Module. The safety defect is an active, un-remedied hazard. The vehicle is currently located at [Name of Alfa Romeo Dealership] for an official diagnosis and is available for inspection. The vehicle has an active safety recall for sudden, catastrophic engine stalling at highway speeds due to fuel pump warping. Because the manufacturer has not provided a remedy or a safe alternative transport, I am forced to choose between driving a vehicle with an acknowledged highway-stalling hazard or being completely deprived of my transportation. The vehicle cannot be safely operated in commerce until Recall 93C is performed. The vehicle is currently undergoing inspection by the manufacturer's authorized technicians at the Alfa Romeo dealership. It has also been reviewed administratively through a claim with the National Center for Dispute Settlement (NCDS), which was denied based on mileage despite the active federal safety recall. The vehicle displayed an "Excessive Oil" warning and experienced heavy smoking from the engine bay beginning around June 25, 2026. While the vehicle has also been undergoing cooling system repairs, the presence of these severe engine warnings and thermal symptoms creates an immediate escalation of risk when combined with the active 93C fuel pump recall.

NHTSA complaint #11746417 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
My vehicle is affected by Recall 93C / (NHTSA 25V-586 )for a fuel pump defect that can cause the engine to stall while driving. This safety issue has already occurred — my vehicle stalled while in motion, creating a dangerous situation. The car is currently unsafe to drive. Description of the Incident: I scheduled a recall appointment with the Englewood Cliffs Alfa Romeo dealer after reporting that the car had stalled. When I arrived, the dealer attempted to charge me a $450 diagnostic fee even though the visit was specifically for a federally regulated safety recall. I declined the fee and left because I did not feel comfortable being charged for recall‑related inspection. Manufacturer Response: I contacted Stellantis Customer Care. They stated that they “have no control over how the dealer operates” and that they would require diagnostic documentation from the dealer before providing rental assistance. This means I would still be required to pay the diagnostic fee, even though the issue is recall‑related. Reason for Filing: The dealer’s refusal to perform recall‑related inspection without charging a diagnostic fee prevents me from addressing a known safety defect. The manufacturer’s position leaves me unable to obtain recall service unless I pay out of pocket. I am concerned that this creates a barrier for consumers attempting to address a serious safety recall. Requested Action: I am requesting NHTSA’s review of this dealer’s handling of Recall 93C and Stellantis’ response requiring paid diagnostics before providing recall support. I would like NHTSA to ensure that consumers can obtain recall inspections and remedies without being charged diagnostic fees.
NHTSA complaint #11744518 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
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.
