Just to start from over the last couple years-
Frozen rear brakes
lower panels below door keep falling off
CEL after cel and some recalls on some sender.
I can not get 15000 miles out of a set of rear tires.
a Tire warning no communication light is always on.
Rear wheel bearings replaced .
One front strut.
Now that the warranty is up maybe i will fix it, as "Fiat Care"s did not care.
Every 20000 miles some shifter cable thing breaks
The 1st time it sat in the shop ONE MONTH waiting on the part.
Fiat did this exact same thing here in the states in the late 70s early 80s
They ignored the costumer and hoped the problems would go away.
They ended up going away.

Sadly familiar. FIAT were big in Aus but they soon went away. I saw the current model in a local dealership when they first arrived.
The one on display had a factory fitted sunroof. The tracks were plastic and covered in vaseline
Ridiculous!!!
