Day 1 ! that’s wild

I recently left Queens to move to Georgia.

First, have you checked the battery ?

Second, not sure if this would be a fuel pump issue but it is possible

Third, I would say check the throttle body for buildup..

Other than that.. not sure what else could be the issue! I hope they find the issue!

 

Hey thanks for the reply , The dealer that sold me the car said to change the battery and clear codes , But the car came with receipt that the battery was changed in June 2025 at an alfa dealer.

 

@8063 Might be able to help. I believe he has a shop in Port Washington.

 

This shop in brooklyn seems pretty knowledgeable in alfas. Can inquire there:

Alfa of Brooklyn Motors Inc · Brooklyn, New York

If you have one of the earlier model years, there is a known issue where the ecu harness can chafe against the body while driving, causing the wiring to wear and leading to electrical issues. I'd check the ecu wiring also if battery was changed. If the issue presents while the car is moving/accelerating/stopping that seems like the likely culprit

 

I have 2018 alfa, car shut down on me 5 times. Dealer did software update which did nothing. Battery is new as well.

I replaced fuel pump and module myself, and no issues since so far. Before, even with fuel gauge showing 1/4 tank, car would shut down thinking its out of fuel

I would replace them in your place

 

Is the fuel pump easy to do ?

 

What year qv. Battery and software are first two suggestions. Fuel pump if it's an early car

Try Miller motors in Greenwich. That's where I go for service

 

Blair was my SA this time around....very nice young lady...and fairly knowledgeable!

 

Thank you all for your input.
Update:
I had an independent mechanic replace the fuel pump, body control module, and fuel pump control module. The car ran fine for one day, but the next day it wouldn’t turn off, the AC stopped working, and multiple warning lights appeared (blind spot, park sense, service dampers, check engine, etc.). The engine eventually turned off only after opening the door, and after turning the car on and off five times, all lights cleared and it drove normally, but the problem returned the following day.
I never heard back from the independent mechanic.
I then contacted the out-of-state dealer who sold me the car (not an official Alfa dealer). They replaced the battery and are currently testing the vehicle. So far, it’s running well, but I’m skeptical this will be a permanent fix as when I bought the car came with a receipt that it had the battery changed 3 months ago.
I’m concerned the issues may persist and would appreciate any advice or similar experiences from the community.
Thanks

 

QV is my last new sport car. My next purchase will be from early 2000s and below. I rather deal with mechanical problems

 

I actually had a classic 1996 146 alfa when I lived abroad and guess what kind of problems it had ?
Electrical , all electrical , and no one was ever able to sort it out . talk about DeJa'Vu

 

Have you checked the IBS or reset it?

 

they haven't changed it as far as I know , not sure if they have checked it

 

There should be a revised IBS for the pre '20 cars, if you keep having battery issues. Check if you have the old style and maybe try the new part if you do, here is a thread on it:

Otherwise would seem like a wiring issue..

 

Thanks

will take there once I get the car back, heard good things about them , and will just follow up at dealers from now on . Should have left the car at the initial dealer in NJ, better pay more and get the car actually fixed

Yeah definitely try Miller. The money you pay will be worth the headache
