2009 MASERATI GRANTURISMO Complaints
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;
