3 known faults

2.2 Diesel 160 ch

  1. Braking: integrated brake module and parking brake (recalls)

    Manufacturer recall

    Recalls have targeted the brake module of the Giulia and Stelvio: in Germany (KBA), 1,452 vehicles from 2016-2021 for excessive parking brake tightening caused by a module fault, corrected by a software update at the workshop; another recall flags an integrated brake module (IBS) that may be faulty on 2019-2021 Stelvios, with a risk of ABS failure. Have the VIN checked to confirm that the recalls have been carried out.

    Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).

  2. 2.2 diesel: oil seepage, oil pressure and turbo

    Severity 2/3 · Costly

    Owner reviews on Fiches-auto describe, on the 2.2 diesel, oil seepage into the intake hoses and the turbo (160 hp), a turbo failure at 83,000 km (210 hp), and a recurring oil pressure warning linked to the oil pump (150 hp). These are individual accounts, not a statistic.

  3. Electrical and electronic faults

    Severity 1/3 · Annoying

    What Car? reports that recent Alfa Romeos have had persistent electrical problems (starting, satellite navigation), with newer models having a better record. A French buying guide also flags faulty sensors and uneven build quality, especially on 2017-2019 model years.
