If the 'gear box fell out' on an 07 Fiat, you wouldn't be driving it - Fiat would have replaced the car rather than repairing it as you're looking at effectively replacing most of the drive train in that case - good chance the engine would be damaged beyond easy repair too. The cars have 5 year warranties so you can't even give me 'it was a January 07 car and it happened in February...' or anything similar.

So, basically - I don't believe you. Fiat don't even make gearboxes, by the way - they use Fuji ones (Subaru basically).

But it's fun and cool to bash Fiat... :rolleyes:
We'll hear stories soon about how someone set off on a trip in a Fiat, and 20 miles later arrived at their destination with only the seat remaining.
