I purchased a new Fiat Linea Diesel Emotion PK 3 months back and have done 6000 kms. I am facing serious problems driving this car. This is the most horrible vehicle I have driven and the worst decision of my life:
1> Under Carriage / Ground Clearance is very low making driving very stressful
2> Front Left Shock Absorber makes screeching / brushing noise at the slightest of Hump or pot hole.
3> Steering is very Hard like driving a truck The right hand pains while driving and now the pain has reached the neck ans spine
4> There is a continuous left pull in the car even after 3 wheel alignment and servicing.
5> Driver’s seat has a left tilt which makes the driver slide to the left side while driving.
6> The Vehicle starts shivering between 80kmph to 100kmph
I have driven cars like: Honda City, Fort Fiesta, Maruti Deisre, Toyota Innova, Tata Indigo and none of the cards had these issues.
I have been in constant touch with the Tata Motors and Fiat Representatives and they say it is normal and the design of the car is such thereby cant be resolved.
I am contemplating to buy a second hand alto and put Fiat Linea badge over it and driving around the city to make my life easy and getting rid of my mental and physical trauma
