Alfa Romeo Giulia Problems (2017-2025)
Owners have filed 395 complaints with NHTSA about the Alfa Romeo Giulia for the 2017 to 2025 model years. The most common are about the fuel/propulsion system, engine, and electrical system.
A complaint is an unverified report a driver files with NHTSA about a problem they had. It is not a recall or a proven defect, and a popular model on the road in large numbers naturally collects more of them. Still, a cluster of complaints about one part is often the earliest public signal of a problem, sometimes years before a recall. Here is how the Alfa Romeo Giulia complaints break down.
Of those complaints, 47 mention a crash, 4 mention a fire, and 27 report an injury. These are owner-reported and not confirmed by NHTSA, but they are worth knowing when you weigh up a vehicle.

How to read these complaints
A few things are worth keeping in mind when you read these numbers. Complaints are self-reported and unverified, so they lean toward the problems owners noticed and bothered to report, not a clean sample of every vehicle. A model that sold in big numbers will gather more complaints than a rare one, even at the same defect rate, so the raw totals say as much about popularity as reliability. What is genuinely useful is the shape: a tight cluster of complaints about one part, especially one that also shows crashes, fires, or injuries, is the kind of pattern that sometimes turns into a recall or a federal investigation later.
What to do about a Alfa Romeo Giulia problem
If you own a Alfa Romeo Giulia and recognize one of these problems, start by checking whether it is already covered by a free recall repair, then look the vehicle up by its VIN to see what is open on your exact car. It is also worth filing your own complaint with NHTSA: complaints are how defects get noticed in the first place, and enough of them about the same part can trigger an investigation. Keep your repair records either way, since they matter for warranty and lemon-law claims. Start with the Alfa Romeo Giulia recall history, then run a VIN recall check for your specific vehicle.
