i'll give Fiat some credit here, i think they did good as long as the quality is there and parts don't just bend/break. they have literally accounted for everything that basically 98% of ppl who buy em want to do. they have also slashed the aftermarket for smalls, so it'll also be interesting to see what they come up with for it.

Just had to replace my radiator where the seam between the metal coil meets the plastic. Thing should have lasted far longer than 40K.

Isn't that covered under warranty?

It was 4k miles ago.
It is not attached to the engine, so the water pump has a 5/100k warranty, and the hoses attached to the water pump are covered, but the radiator isn't.

Is the entire hose covered, or just the half that is on the water pump side? They do anything they can to avoid paying.

Didn't need a hose, so don't know. I figure if it had to be replaced with a bad pump they cover it. If it had to be replaced with a bad radiator, they wouldn't.
