Is it more expensive to repair Fiat 500 electric vehicle systems?

The answer is, it depends. Certain high voltage parts are only available as components in larger units. We do offer promotional financing through the Firestone credit card.* (*Subject to credit approval.)

How do I know when to get new brakes on my Fiat 500?

The best way to know is with a brake check. You also want to stay on top of your manufacturer suggested maintenance intervals for Fiat 500 brakes. Generally speaking, front brake pad wear may be significantly reduced in electric vehicles due to regenerative braking.

What do I do if my Fiat 500 dashboard warning light is on?

A dashboard warning light means your Fiat 500 needs some sort of attention. There may also be a high voltage system warning light on. Visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an electric vehicle diagnostic.

Why is water leaking from my 500?

It is common for electric cars to have some water accumulation underneath them after using the air conditioning system for a bit of time. Electric car A/C systems use receiver dryer assemblies to help the refrigerant stay clean, and this process can create condensation that drains under the vehicle on warm days. Noticing a bit of water under your 500 shouldn’t be a cause for concern, but significant amounts of water or any coolant leaks could indicate an issue with your cooling system.

How often should I take my Fiat 500 in for maintenance?

EV Services for Your 2016 Fiat 500

Have you noticed your Fiat 500 behaving differently? Maybe you've felt less "pep" in its acceleration, or it feels like it is taking forever to go from 0 to 60MPH. If that's the case, our technicians can run through a complimentary* hybrid/electric vehicle check for more details. There could be an issue with the high voltage cooling system in your 500 -- a high voltage battery that's running hot will strain the battery's performance. Or, perhaps there are Diagnostic Trouble Codes stored in one of your 500's electric modules? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care location is equipped to offer conventional and low voltage services for all electric car makes and models, including your 2016 Fiat 500.

Some Firestone stores also offer advanced/high voltage services for Electric Vehicles like the Fiat 500. High voltage services are any that include removing the Fiat's high voltage, service/safety disconnect plug/switch, servicing high voltage electric machines/motors, the high voltage battery pack, high voltage A/C compressor, any high voltage cables, etc. Call your local store before making an appointment to check if high voltage services are offered.

Some of these high voltage electric vehicle services might include:

Electric vehicle diagnostic: A diagnostic is the next step we take after noting the symptoms your Fiat 500 is showcasing. This step will help us get to the bottom of the real problem. With that info in hand, your expert technician can further investigate any electric vehicle problems and decide if more analysis is required to complete the fix. No repairs are performed without your consent.

High voltage battery cooling inspection: Your technician will inspect the 500's high voltage battery filter (if applicable) and clean the ducts of the battery. (This applies to air-cooled high voltage batteries. Liquid-cooled or refrigerant-cooled high voltage batteries are inspected differently.)

High voltage cable inspection: Your technician will visually inspect the outer cable jackets and connectors on your 2016 Fiat 500 and test to ensure high voltage is NOT transferring to the chassis. They'll let you know if the cable needs replacement due to wear and tear.

Isolation test: This test involves using a unique tool to see if any high voltage parts are "leaking" electric energy to the 500's chassis.

Remove and replace high voltage battery: Is your 2016 Fiat 500 high voltage battery weak and failing? Sometimes electric vehicle batteries can wear out sooner than you expect in hotter climates or if you use Level 3 fast-charging stations often, since these stations may heat the battery more. Let us replace it for you.

Health check for the power electronic systems: We'll check the regenerative braking, power inverter, and/or electric drive machine(s)/motor(s) in your Fiat 500.
