Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your 500X’s performance. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Fiat 500X transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood.

Questions About 2016 Fiat 500X’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Fiat's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Fiat 500X? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your 500X’s towing capacity. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • When should I have my 500X's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2016 500X’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Fiat's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Fiat 500X leak transmission fluid? Yes. Fiat 500X transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Where can I get my  Fiat 500X transmission fixed? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair 500X transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Is it okay to drive a 500X with a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your 500X if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
