Well, even though the RAV4 EV has its own issues, I think the Fiat 500e has a more serious problem. Basically, half shafts are falling off the cars due to improper assembly at the factory. Several have broken while driving due to the bolts holding a CV joint onto the transmission output shaft simply falling out. There is now a "Stop Sell" order so that they can inspect all the cars and make sure they are all bolted together properly.
