MASERATI Complaints

I have only 40k in my car and the dealer doesn’t want acceso the recall for the rear diff because is close

The Maserati SQ4 car exterior laminated safety glass on the front window shield, the four door side windows and rear window are delaminating from the edges inward. The safety windows are failing on the exterior. I am members of five Facebook Maserati groups and there are many owners that have this issue around the world

The vehicle was manufactured with laminated glass for all windows and the glass is delaminating and forming bubbles around glass edges which compromises the integrity of the glass. On my vehicle, it affects all 4 windows and both front and rear windshields. This issue is widely reported on forums and group message boards and seems to affect all years of the Maserati Ghibli from 2014+. I have inquired with a local independent shop and was told that this is a safety concern and to try to reach out to the dealership. Reaching out to the dealership, I have not received a response. Others have said they had mixed results with the dealerships replacing their glass even with warranty. Others out of warranty were denied replacement or were told it is normal and not to worry.

During a diagnostic performed at the Maserati dealership to repair parking brake failure, it was determined that the right strut tower/dome has a large crack. The vehicle has not been in any major accidents or driven over any potholes and it appears that this happened spontaneously. There were no warning lights to signal this issue. During the diagnostic it was also found that all 4 tires were bald, control arms needed to be replaced and the car was out of alignment. I have only driven the car approximately 7,000 miles since purchasing it used and the car was delivered with new tires and a flawless 150 point inspection from the dealer. This deformity has major safety concerns as it affects the suspension, alignment, tires and creates unsafe driving conditions. I asked the Maserati dealership and Maserati USA if this vehicle was involved in Service Campaign 268 for possible deformation of the dome, but was told it was not involved.

At slow speeds or when stopped vehicle shifts from drive into neutral by itself. Transmission May Shift into Neutral If the transmission unexpectedly shifts to neutral, or the engine shuts down, there is an increased risk of a crash. The contact stated that the issues still persist today and have almost caused two accidents.

While driving my 2017 maserati levante going less than 20mph I notice the road was bumpy and tried to slow down and the brakes didn't respond. It felt like I was losing control of the car I continue to pump the brakes and it made this loud sound and then car skid to a stop. Thank god no car or person was in front of me. I have experienced this twice the first time it wasn't this bad just seem like the brakes weren't responding when I press the pedal. I just purchased vehicle feb 15 2022 and its now march 25 2022 from a certified dealer that car pass all inspections. There were no warning lights on during this scary incident or after.

The contact's girlfriend owns a 2019 Maserati Ghibli. The contact stated that while driving at low speeds, the transmission would inadvertently shift into Neutral or Park, or the engine would shut off. Upon research, the contact related the failure to an engine software malfunction. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed however, the mechanic found no failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was operating as designed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact to record the failure whenever it happened again and forward the evidence of the failure. The failure mileage was 12,975.
