Golling Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram

Francis Jannaman and the rest of The Golling staff were fantastic when I bought my 2025 Ram. Wouldn’t go any where else in the future.

Francis Jannaman is the guy you want to work with, he was awesome!

Go see Kyle Hellner for your new car/truck needs! This is the 4th vehicle I’ve bought from Kyle and there’s a reason we keep coming back! He’s up front and honest about pricing and packages. No hiding numbers.

Worked with Malcolm in service and had an excellent experience! He communicated well through every step of the process and made sure I understood what was going on with my vehicle. I highly recommend him to anyone who has service needs!

Thank you Malcolm!

Ongoing Alfa Romeo Stelvio Engine Issues and Dealership Concerns

In February 2024, I started experiencing severe engine misfiring and intense vibrations in my Alfa Romeo Stelvio. Concerned, I took the vehicle to Golling Alfa Romeo, where I was informed that two of the fuel injectors had failed. These were replaced under warranty (4 years/40,000 miles), as my vehicle was at 3.5 years and 30,000 miles at the time.

The next day, the same issue returned. Upon bringing it back to the dealership, they diagnosed the problem as the other two fuel injectors, which were also replaced. While the vehicle seemed to run better, I noticed it still revved to high RPMs before shifting, which I flagged as unusual.

Fast forward to November/December 2024, and the misfiring and rough idling resurfaced. Golling again cited faulty fuel injectors. After replacing them once more and not resolving the issue, they decided to open the engine—only then discovering a coolant leak inside the engine. The dealership informed me that I would now need a full engine replacement, at a cost of $12,000, because the warranty had expired two months earlier (despite being at only 36,000 miles).

After researching online, I discovered numerous posts and direct messages from other Alfa Romeo owners facing the exact same issue, with similar warranty denials—strongly suggesting a pattern of manufacturer defect that should have warranted a recall or class-action lawsuit.

I pleaded my case to Golling, arguing that this issue had clearly started during the warranty period and that a more thorough inspection back in February might have uncovered the root cause. After a week, they agreed to partially cover the engine repair, but I was still left with a $4,400 out-of-pocket expense.

To make amends, Golling offered to "help me out" by putting me into a new vehicle. They stated my Stelvio was worth $12,000 as-is or $16,000 if I paid for the engine, even though I still owed $18,000 on the loan. As part of a separate offer, they proposed taking the Stelvio off my hands and leasing me a Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited for $1,160 down and $685/month.

Out of curiosity, I contacted another Stellantis dealership in the area. They had a Grand Cherokee with the same trim and MSRP—but offered me $0 down and $545/month for the lease. They also appraised my Stelvio at $18,000 once repaired.

It became clear that rather than helping, Golling was attempting to profit further—either by underpaying for my Stelvio by $2,000 or offering a lease $140/month higher than another dealer for the same vehicle. Had Golling properly diagnosed the issue back in February—especially considering this is a known, recurring problem with Alfa Romeos—the entire ordeal could have been avoided.
