The 2012 FIAT 500 has been facing some problems with its electrical system. You might notice issues like jerky movements, lights flickering, or a sudden loss of power. One common complaint is the starter randomly failing to start the car. It could work one day and not the next, making it unpredictable. Replacing the starter can range from $240 to $547. Another issue you might encounter is the exterior marker lights going out on and off or a faulty ground wire connected to the gear shifter. If the wire is faulty, it will need to be replaced, costing around $10 to $60.
