MASERATI Complaints

REAR BREAKS PADS AT MINIMAL UNDER 13,300 MILES ON THE CAR. MASERATI REFUSE TO REPLACE THEM UNDER WARRANTY. I UNDERSTAND ITS WEAR AND TEAR BUT NOT WHEN THE CAR HAS 13,300 MILES. NO CAR WILL PUT YOU TO REPLACE BREAK PADS AT LOW LOW MILES. I AM SURE THIS COULD BE MANUFACTURING MALFUNCTION FAULTY AND IT I'M SURE THERE IS OTHER MASERATI OWNERS HAS THE SAME PROBLEM.

THE BACKUP CAMERA DISPLAYS A FUZZY REDDISH BLURRY IMAGE...NOT A TRUE PICTURE OF WHAT IS BEHIND THE CAR. I ALMOST BACKED INTO A CAR BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE IT.

STRANGE RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE FRONT OF THE CAR WHEN GOING OVER ROUGH LOCAL ROADS AT SPEEDS UNDER 25 MILES/HR. CHECKED BALL JOINTS AND TIRE RODS WHICH BOTH "APPEARS" TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION.

MY COMPLAINT IS REGARDING MY 2017 MASERATI GHIBLI SQ4. WHILE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OR AT STOP LIGHT THE CAR SHUTS DOWN AND PUTS ITSELF IN NEUTRAL. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND HAPPENS ROUGHLY ONCE A MONTH. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON THE 2017 LAVANTE WHICH SHARES THE SAME ENGINE AND STOP START SYSTEM WITH THE 2017 GHIBLI. BUT FOR SOME REASON MASERATI HAS ISSUED A RECALL ONLY ON THE LEVANTE NOT THE GHIBLI. THE CAR HAS BEEN INTO SERVICE FOR THIS ISSUE 5 TIMES IN 9 MONTHS. RUSNAK MY DEALERSHIP HERE IN PASADENA, CA SAYS THAT THERE IS NO CURRENT FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. TWO DAYS AGO I WAS GOING UP A BRIDGE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE STOPSED IN TRAFFIC, WHEN I RELEASED THE BRAKE THE CAR STALLED AND ROLLED BACKWARDS. I BELIEVE THE FREQUENT STALLING IS DUE TO A FAULTY START STOP FUEL SAVING SYSTEM. BEFORE I MAKE A LEFT TURN I HAVE TO DISABLE THE STOP START SYSTEM FOR FEAR THAT THE CAR WILL STALL LEAVING ME VULNERABLE TO AN ACCIDENT FROM ON COMING TRAFFIC.

GAS PEDAL GOT STUCK UPON ACCELERATION. THE SPEED WAS 30 MPH AND IT WENT TO 60 IN FEW SECONDS. THIS WAS NOT DUE TO ANY OBSTRUCTION. HAD TO TURN OF ENGINE TO STOP THE CAR.

THERE IS A STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE CAR WHEN I DRIVE ON BUMPIE ROADS IT SOUND LIKE BALL JOINTS OR TIRE RODS

3/18/2016 MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT DUE TO ACCELERATION DUE TO THE GAS PETAL STICKING. PROGRESSIVE INSURANCE IS HANDLING A PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM AND VEHICLE DAMAGE CLAIM. CLAIM NUMBER 16--2013182 ADJUSTER IS KEITH PELKEY 904-423-4423. THE PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM IS IN LITIGATION. FURTHER DOCUMENTS FOR SUBROGATION WILL BE PROVIDED ON REQUEST.

TAILLIGHTS WERE PART OF MASERATI RECALL 198. A RECALL LETTER WAS SENT TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER BUT NO SERVICE WAS EVER PERFORMED. A VIN SEARCH ON MASERATIUSA.COM REVEALS A DOWNLOADABLE COPY OF THIS RECALL LETTER INDICATING LIGHTS MANUFACTURED BEFORE 2010 ARE FAULTY. MINE WERE MANUFACTURED IN 2008 AND DESPITE THIS EVIDENCE MASERATI HAS DECLINED SERVICE. I AM ASKING FOR HELP IN GETTING MASERATI TO REPLACE THE TAILLIGHTS, WHICH TURN OFF SPORADICALLY WHILE DRIVING. IT'S ALSO WORTH NOTING THAT WHEN I RAN THIS VIN ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE IT SHOWED THE SAME RECALL. UNFOR

MY VEHICLE WENT IN FOR A 2 YEAR SERVICE AND A FEW SAFETY RECALLS. SINCE THE SERVICE, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO ENSURE THAT THE FRONT DOORS ARE CLOSED, EVEN WHEN SLAMMED SHUT. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE HAS SHIFTED ITSELF INTO PARK AT VERY LOW SPEED (LESS THAN 1 MPH) FROM BOTH THE D AND R GEARS. LASTLY, WHEN EXITING THE VEHICLE, POWER DOES NOT TURN OFF FULLY, EVEN WHEN THE DOORS ARE LOCKED AND KEYS ARE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR.

WHEN I WOULD RAPIDLY ACCELERATE THE GAS PEDAL WOULD STICK, CAR WOULD LURCH FORWARD WHILE CONTINUING TO ACCELERATE. IF I DIDN'T IMMEDIATELY HIT THE BRAKES AND TURN OFF CAR I COULD HAVE EASILY LOST CONTROL WHILE CONTINUING ACCELERATING . THIS HAPPENED TWICE I THEN BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE MASERATI DEALER THE COLLECTION IN CORAL GABLES . I UNDERSTAND THIS MAY HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THE MASERATI GHIBLI .
