Best and Worst Fiat 500X Years: What the NHTSA Data Shows

Across the 5 Fiat 500X model years from 2016 to 2022 that have NHTSA data, the typical year has about 3 owner complaints on file. These are the extremes:

Fewest owner complaints

  • 2020 — 2 complaints, 2 recall campaigns
  • 2022 — 2 complaints, 1 recall campaign
  • 2019 — 3 complaints, 2 recall campaigns

Most owner complaints

  • 2016 — 154 complaints, 1 recall campaign, 4★ NHTSA
  • 2017 — 15 complaints, 1 recall campaign, 4★ NHTSA
  • 2019 — 3 complaints, 2 recall campaigns

Complaint counts are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and rise with how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road, so treat them as a pointer for what to inspect, not a reliability score. Model years after 2022 are left out because they have had little time to accumulate reports. Always check a specific car by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
