Alfa Romeo Stelvio — reported problems

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 694 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

• Fuel system168 (24.2%)Official recall records for this system: 8, covering model years 2018–2021.
• Engine138 (19.9%)Official recall records for this system: 4, covering model years 2018–2019.
• Electrical system126 (18.2%)Official recall records for this system: 3, covering model years 2018–2019.

• Brakes32 (4.6%)Official recall records for this system: 13, covering model years 2018–2021.
• Speed control & accelerator24 (3.5%)

Other / uncategorized: 54 classifications (7.8%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

• Owner complaints (408 records, model years 2018–2025) are most frequently classified under: fuel system, engine and electrical system.
• Transport Canada recalls (66 records, model years 2018–2025) are most frequently classified under: child seats, brakes and fuel system.
• Manufacturer communications (1,205 records, model years 2018–2026) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, equipment & accessories and powertrain (transmission & drivetrain).

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records

Mileage reported when the issue occurred

• 140reports included a mileage
• 45,658average of those mileages

This is the mileage owners recorded at the time they reported, not an expected failure mileage and not a prediction for any individual vehicle. The lowest and highest figures on record are not shown: they are unverified odometer entries that include zeros and implausibly high readings, so they would not describe a real range. A median is not shown either, because the stored figures are group totals and a median cannot be recovered from them.

Counts are not adjusted for how many vehicles were sold in each year, so a taller year is not necessarily a worse year.

Diagnostic codes found in evidence for this vehicle

These codes appear by explicit identifier in official records matched to this exact model and year.

• P0513 in 20 records · 2018–2022
• P0244 in 11 records · 2018–2021
• P0299 in 2 records · 2019–2020

A code appearing in a record means the code was named in that document. It is not a diagnosis of this vehicle, not a fault this vehicle has, and not an indication of urgency. Diagnosis requires reading live data from the vehicle.
