What 2023 Alfa Romeo Stelvio owners say
Electrical system
The back up camera has failed to display on the radio screen when the vehicle is placed in reverse on multiple occasions. The Alfa Romeo Stelvio has poor rear visibility due to a small rear window placed at a relatively shallow angle making the backup camera a necessary safety feature to safely operate the vehicle. The problem was reported to the dealer as part of another issue related to the radio locking up / rebooting due to software issues with a telematic module. Sometimes the radio will display an error message immediately when the car starts and then go to a black screen and sometimes the issue happens without warning. Turning off the vehicle and letting it sit will sometimes resolve the issue. I have offered to provide video evidence to the dealer and manufacturer but was told it was not necessary. The radio was replaced but the issue persists after the radio replacement.
Leasing car since November 11, 2023. Car has been in service four times for various problems regarding engine light on, throttle problems, gas emission problems, headlight not working, heater not working, I am very anxious and fearful of driving car. Dealership has had car in for service more than I have had car in my possession.
