Are Fiat 500 electric vehicle systems more expensive to repair?

It depends. Some high voltage items are only available as parts of larger units. We also offer promotional financing when you use the Firestone credit card.* (*Subject to credit approval.)

When do Fiat 500 brakes need to be replaced?

A brake inspection is your smartest first step. Investing in manufacturer suggested maintenance intervals for Fiat 500 brakes is another good idea. That said, front brake pad wear can be significantly reduced in electric vehicles because of regenerative braking.

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

There are so many reasons the 500 dashboard warning light can illuminate. Stop by Firestone Complete Auto Care for an electric vehicle diagnostic to learn more. You may also have a warning light on the dash regarding your high voltage system.

Is it normal for my 500 to leak water?

It is normal for an electric car to have some water underneath it after running the air conditioning for a period of time. This moisture is present because electric cars still use a receiver dryer assembly to keep the contaminants out of the vehicles A/C refrigerant, and as part of this process, some condensation is produced as a byproduct. On warm days, the condensation drains under the vehicle. A little bit of water is normal. But if you notice a significant amount of water or any amount of coolant leaking from your 500, it may be a sign of a problem with the cooling system or another component.

EV Services for Your 2017 Fiat 500

Does your Fiat 500 run differently than it used to? 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* electric/hybrid vehicle check to get a better idea. There could be an issue with the high voltage cooling system in your 500 -- if the high voltage battery is running too hot, it will reduce your battery's performance. Or, maybe your 500 has Diagnostic Trouble Codes stored in one of its electric modules? Firestone Complete Auto technicians are trained to provide low voltage and conventional services for all electric cars, including your 2017 Fiat 500.

Certain Firestone Complete Auto Care locations also provide high voltage/advanced services for electric vehicles like the Fiat 500. A high voltage service is anything that requires removing the 500's high voltage, safety/service disconnect switch/plug, servicing any high voltage cables, the power inverter, the high voltage electric machines/motors, the high voltage battery pack, high voltage A/C compressor, etc. Before making an appointment, call your closest location to confirm that 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 the information gathered, a trained technician will further pinpoint any electric vehicle problems and figure out if more tests are needed. No repair work is done until you give us the thumbs up.

High voltage battery cooling inspection: Your technician will examine the 500's high voltage battery filter, if applicable, and clean the battery's ducts. (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 2017 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: During this test, the technician will use a special tool to check for any high voltage components that are "leaking" electric energy to the chassis.

Remove and replace high voltage battery: Is your 2017 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. We can replace your electric vehicle's high voltage battery.

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

These are just a few of the more specialized electric car services that might be offered at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care. Call first to check!
