Do 2014 Abarths have a known problem of PCM's going bad? I bought mine new two weeks ago and after 160 miles of driving, had a CEL (idle issue and throttle input issue were the codes returned). I took it to the dealer who diagnosed the PCM and being bad and was told that it'd be 2 weeks to get a new one.
I started harassing Fiat customer care, their facebook and twitter to get the PCM delivery expedited, which it was, reducing the time from 2 weeks to 1. The new PCM arrived at the dealer on Tuesday afternoon and I dropped my car off yesterday.

Today during lunch however, I get a call from customer care, apparently the dealer installed the new PCM and then had to work with Fiat engineering support because the one they expedited is ALSO defective, so another PCM is being sent out while I'm driving a godawful 500 pop auto as a loaner.

I've about had it with this goddamn car.

What other issues have you had?

That was the first one, just a frustrating experience. Turns out the diag was wrong and it was actually a bad throttle body so I waited over a week for the wrong part.

This is starting to happen slightly on my 14, is that a thing that they'll fix under factory warranty?
