Body PASSENGER CAREngine 2.9LTransmission Automatic 8-spd

The 2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.9L is a passenger‑car built on the GA platform and powered by a 2.9‑liter engine paired with an automatic 8‑speed transmission; it records EPA fuel‑economy ratings of 17 mpg city, 24 mpg highway and 20 mpg combined. The model attracted 42 owner complaints in its debut year, the lowest figure across the 2017‑2019 span and a marked drop from the 84 complaints recorded in 2018, while seven recalls have been issued, primarily concerning the fuel/propulsion system. This downward trend in complaints suggests a modest improvement in reliability for the 2019 Giulia relative to its recent predecessors.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 10,000 mi; spark plugs every 30,000 mi; coolant at 150,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 150,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

In 2019 the Giulia saw 42 complaints and 7 recalls, a drop from 84 complaints and 9 recalls in 2018, but still a higher complaint volume than the 2017 baseline of 65 complaints and 5 recalls. The trend across the three-year span shows a gradual decline in complaints after a peak in 2018, while recalls rose slightly from 5 to 9 before falling to 7 in 2019. Top complaint areas in 2019 focus on the Fuel/Propulsion System (9), Fuel System, Gasoline (7), Engine (3), and Electrical System, Engine, Fuel/Propulsion System (2), indicating that powertrain issues dominate the user experience. Crash and fire complaints were 7 and 1 respectively, suggesting that safety and fire-related incidents are relatively low. Overall, 2019 sits at the lower end of the complaint curve and slightly lower recall count, implying it is a more reliable year to purchase than 2018, though still higher than 2017’s baseline. Therefore, 2019 is a reasonably good year to buy a used Giulia, provided you can verify individual vehicle history.
