    My Fiat Freemont's start button doesn't work
    Answered by David Morley · 16 March 2025

    Assuming the vehicle is starting and stopping correctly via the start button, you could be looking at anything from a faulty component in the switch’s lighting circuit, to a bigger problem with the car’s body computer. An auto electrician should be your first stop to get it sorted.

    But until you can book in to an auto sparkie, try this trick at home. Disconnect the battery and leave it disconnected for an hour or so. Then reconnect it and see if the problem has gone away. Sometimes, a body computer needs a reset, and disconnecting the battery is the equivalent of Alt-Ctrl-Delete, or turning a computer off at the wall and switching it back on.

    Fiat Freemont limp mode
    Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 13 March 2014

    What probably happened is that there was a fault with a sensor on the engine that caused it to stop, but the system went into limp mode, which meant you could still drive the car at a much reduced speed. The dealer should be able to identify the cause of the problem from the onboard diagnostics and repair it. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that it will not happen again. Fiat is required to fix the problem with your car, but not to replace it. It would have to get to the situation in which they could not fix it for that to happen.
