Excerpts from owner complaints (unverified):
My sunroof on my 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale Veroce spontaneously burst as I was driving about 40 mph. Nothing nearby or overhead. It was a loud cracking sound that was startling like a gunshot. Luckily, I had the mesh screen pulled shut so no glass fell on me.
2025 ALFA ROMEO Tonale owner, Unknown Or Other, NHTSA complaint 11719733
the car's brakes are still feeling weird; it takes a while for the car to come to a full stop. Also, there is a weird sound when I am switching from Park to Drive gear. I am not sure if this is the brakes or something else.
2025 ALFA ROMEO Tonale owner, Service Brakes, NHTSA complaint 11765971
I have not even 1000 miles on my new Tonale and my infotainment shuts down due to excessive heat. Service was authorized to install a new one and the same thing is happening. No back up camera, navigation or infotainment screen . It says too hot and shuts down.

Can a recall make your Tonale a lemon in California?
Owners of a Alfa Romeo Tonale often ask whether these recalls mean their vehicle qualifies under California's lemon law. Not by themselves. The question is whether a covered defect keeps coming back, or keeps the vehicle at the dealer, after a reasonable number of repair attempts (Civ. Code 1793.2(d)).
1 involve the engine, transmission or high-voltage battery, the kinds of repairs that often take several visits or weeks of downtime.
Within the first 18 months or 18,000 miles, California presumes the manufacturer had enough chances if the same defect was repaired two or more times when it is likely to cause death or serious injury, four or more times for any covered defect, or the vehicle was out of service more than 30 days in total (Civ. Code 1793.22(b)). Written notice to the manufacturer is required in some cases, and owners outside that window can still have a claim. An owner who prevails can recover reasonable attorney fees and costs from the manufacturer (Civ. Code 1794(d)). You pay nothing, win or lose. We are paid only if you win, and the manufacturer pays our fees, including in settlements. If a case is lost, our firm covers the costs.
What to keep: every repair order, the recall owner letters, your purchase or lease contract, and a log of dates, mileage and symptoms. Make sure every visit is written up, even when the dealer says it found nothing.
