So I recently became an Alfa Romeo Owner and so far I have encountered the following:
1) Dual Zone climate control is not working properly. The temperature between the left and right zones even though the temperature dial are synced could be off by as much as 15 degrees sometimes and it happens sporadically. if I turn the knob to say 72 and its synced, the left side will be blowing noticeably hotter air than the right side (passenger side) the issue goes away if i turn down the temperature dial to say 64 or lower. I dont know if its a sensor or software issue. Again its sporadic and often times it works normal.
2) I got an error message for the Start/Stop system indicating that I should take my car in for service. What I noticed was that my hood was slightly raised on one side (I had a a clear bra installed and they opened the hood and apparently did not close it right). The issue appeared after the installation of the clear bra was done. I properly closed the hood and the issue went away. What's strange is that i did not have any notification that the hood was not closed properly on the dash. When I popped the hood by pulling on the lever on the inside of the car, I then got the notification that the hood was open. Apparently there is a connection with the hood and the automatic stop/star. I am continuing to monitor the issue to see if it appears again.
However, how annoying is the stop/start system huh? its highly intrusive and the a/c stops working when its activated. The restart is very noticeable as well.
