This Problem Across All Years
Car suddenly got p018c & p018b codes along with (setc) notification while on freeway and continuously would go in and out of limp mode when accelerating or breaking which nearly caused me to crash. when arriving home I check my fuel pump relay and it looked burnt or overheated, I tried replacing sensors as well as relays but the problem remains whenever accelerating or breaking at low speed now, just without the check engine light.

Vehicle stalled on the road as soon as I stopped at a red light.

Due to a faulty starter relay, my Alfa Romeo Giulia would intermittently not start or restart. The dashboard illuminated properly but the starter did not engage and the engine did not attempt to crank. Afterwards, a warning lamp would sometimes appear saying "auto start/stop unavailable". This became a safety hazard when the auto start/stop feature shut the engine down at a stop light and the car would not restart when the light turned green. In my case, the light turned green and other cars were approaching the intersection and I could not move out of the way. The problem occurred multiple times on initial startup and while driving in a 3 week period before it the faulty relay was replaced under warranty by my local dealer. The car's ECU recorded P26E4-OO for start stop relay and the dealer had seen the issue before. The part has been upgraded and should proactively be recalled.

ON 12/30/2020 THE CAR WAS WRECKED INTO A LIGHT POLE AT 55-60 MPH. MAJOR FRONT END DAMAGE THE SEATBELTS DIDN'T LOCK AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

MY CAR SINCE I HAVE HAD IT HAS HAD 1 RECALL, SOME TYPE OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, AND 3 TIMES IT HAD TO GO TO THE SHOP BECAUSE OF FUEL SYSTEM FAILURE. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A LOT OF WATER IN THE SYSTEM, BUT I USED THE SAME GAS STATION THAT THEY USE TO PUT GAS IN THE CAR AFTER IT WAS DRAINED AND REFILLED. EVERY TIME I HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY CAR I WAS ALWAYS IN MOTION. ONCE THIS CAR STOPS YOU ARE STUCK WHEREVER YOU ARE AT BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT PUT THIS CAR IN NEUTRAL TO PUSH IT OUT OF THE ROAD. I HAVE FELT LIKE MY LIFE WAS IN JEOPARDY EACH TIME THIS CAR HAS STOPPED ON ME. I HAVE NO PHOTOS BECAUSE MY CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP RIGHT NOW. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SINCE 10/03/2020
