2 Arizona Alfa Romeo Dealers

There is a reason why Alfa Romeo isn’t selling vehicles. There’s also a reason the ones sold seem to lose half their value in just a couple years. The vehicles have reliability issues. Among the most concerning are the software and electronic issues which have forced Alfa Romeo into buying back many of these vehicles under the lemon law. These reliability problems are made worse by a dealership network has routinely been rated as the very worst in the United States. Alfa Romeo’s corporate offices don’t seem to care much about these problems either. It’s no surprise that the similar problems forced the company out of the U.S. for 25 years. I won’t be surprised when that happens again. My experience at Alfa Romeo of Scottsdale illustrates everything that is wrong with this company. The TL;DR version of this story is simple…. DO NOT TAKE A CHANCE WITH BUYING A VEHICLE FROM THIS BRAND. If you do happen to own an Alfa Romeo and are one of the lucky few that have made it to the end of the warranty without software issues, you xxxx well need to make sure a dealership doesn’t mess with what’s working. Especially when you’re taking the vehicle in for it’s final service. That’s what I attempted to prevent. Had Alfa Romeo of Scottsdale listened, there would be a good chance I’d own another FCA / Stellantis vehicle again in the future. Now I see that owning a vehicle made by this corporation is too much of a financial risk. With only 26,000 miles on the odometer, I find myself left with electronic problems that didn’t exist before bringing it in for service at this dealership. This is in addition to multiple cooling system components failures caused by their poorly trained technician. The work was so startlingly incompetent that hoses were coming apart, coolant blowing out, problems with the radio, not to mention and the car repeatedly going into limp home mode after picking it up. This is not a unique experience unfortunately. I’ve taken my Giulia in for service three times. Each time, the car was returned with more problems than it went in for.
