Common Alpine Reliability Insights

PEB (Power Electronic Box) Failure: A critical electronic failure that can result in a "stop" warning and vehicle immobilisation. Most common on 2018–2020 cars.
Infotainment Glitches: Frequent screen freezing and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity issues on earlier models; largely addressed by firmware updates.
Brake Squeal: A common characteristic of the Brembo braking system, often requiring specialist bedding-in or anti-squeal shims.
Fuel Pump Issues: Early cars were subject to a recall for the high-pressure fuel pump, which could cause stalling or limp mode.
Aluminium Panel Corrosion: Rare but reported—galvanic corrosion can develop at panel joins in coastal or heavily salted environments.
12V Battery Drain: The car's electronics can flatten the auxiliary battery if left unused for more than a week or two.
