- M32 Six-Speed Manual Gearbox Bearing WearSerious
On 1.4 T-Jet (150PS) and early 1.9 MultiJet models fitted with the GM-Fiat joint-venture M32 six-speed manual gearbox, the end-case bearings on the 6th gear and output shafts suffer premature wear due to tight pre-load tolerances and marginal lubrication under sustained load. If neglected, bearing collapse damages the casing and internal gear clusters, requiring a complete transmission rebuild or replacement.
- Climate Control Blend-Door Actuator StrippingModerate
On Bravos equipped with dual-zone automatic climate control, the small plastic drive splines connecting the stepper actuator motors to the internal heater flap levers become brittle and strip. The motor continues to spin while the internal flap remains stuck, leaving the car blowing only icy cold or scalding hot air on one or both sides of the cabin. Remedying the issue is notoriously labour-intensive because replacing the lower heater casing actuators requires extensive dashboard disassembly.
