Main defects found in Fiat's popular car
Despite being presented as an ideal used Fiat car, the Fiat Punto Blackmotion also has its flaws. There are reports of suspension defects in units with 135 thousand km. It is necessary to be careful when changing the oil, as there is a version that takes 2,7 liters, while the 16v version takes 3,2 liters.
If the mechanic puts in 3 liters, as usual, it will give excess oil and this can cause problems. The gearbox mount is also another problem, as well as leaking valve cover twice, the two connecting rods and two rear mounts, electric lock, driver's door and open trunk sensor.
