VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

THE CAR UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATES. THIS HAPPENED ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE 1ST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. IT'S A 2015 MODEL. I PURCHASED A VEHICLE IN AUGUST 2020. THE 2ND OCCURRENCE HAPPENED NOV 12 AND TODAY NOV 21. THE 1ST TIME THIS HAPPENED I DID SOME RESEARCH AND IT SEEMED LIKE THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH MASERATIS FLOOR OWN FLOOR MATS. AT THE TIME AND PRIOR TO KNOWING THIS, I HAD PUT BRAND NEW FLOOR MATS OF MY OWN IN THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY UNAWARE THAT THIS WAS AN OEM ISSUE. AFTER THIS HAPPENED THE 1ST TIME, I REMOVED MY PERSONAL FLOOR MATS THINKING THAT WOULD SOLVE THE ISSUE. THE 2ND TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE ISSUE WAS SLIGHT AND THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS AROUND ME. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS AN OPERATOR ISSUE USING MANUAL SHIFTING PERHAPS. AT ANY RATE I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE 2ND OCCURRENCE RATHER QUICKLY TO THE POINT WHERE THIS WAS ALMOST UNNOTICEABLE. THIS THIRD TIME THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL AND I HAD TO DEPRESS THE BREAK PEDAL %100 IN TRAFFIC TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR. MEANWHILE, IT WOULD STILL CONTINUE TO DO THE ACCELERATION. THE CAR WAS SCREECHING AND ACCELERATING WITH ME DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. I PULLED OFF SAFELY ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL 100% DEPRESSED. I THREW THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. THIS VEHICLE DOESN'T ALLOW YOU TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE OCCURRING.(UNSAFE)I DON'T THINK THIS ISSUE HAS RELEVANCE TO THE CURRENT RECALL FOR THIS MODEL, WHICH IS FLOORMAT RELATED. WHEN TRYING TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE I CONSCIOUSLY TRIED TO SEE IF THE PEDAL WAS STUCK AND IT WAS NOT. ALSO THERE ARE NO REPORTED RECALLS FOR MY PARTICULAR VIN SO I'M REPORTING THIS NOW.I HAVE SINCE CONTACTED MASERATI AND HAVE A CURRENT REPAIR SCHEDULED. AT THIS TIME, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WILL DO THIS REPAIR FREE OF CHARGE BUT WILL HAVE FOLLOW-UP DETAILS AVAILABLE IF NEED BE.

WHEELS

THE FELT WHEEL LINER ON BOTH FRONT WHEELS IS DEFECTIVE. MASERATI ALONG WITH ALL DEALERS I'VE SPOKEN TO KNOW OF THE ISSUE. I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE COLLECTION/MASERATI IN MIAMI AND HE STATED THEY ARE REPLACING THEM EVERY SINGLE DAY (YET MASERATI REFUSES TO FIX THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT UNDER WARRANTY). THEY BECOME TORN AND DISLODGED WHEN GOING THROUGH PUDDLES/NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS (WHEN IT'S RAINING). ONCE DISLODGED, IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. NOT ONLY CAN THEY FLY UP UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE AND HIT OBJECTS/VEHICLES/PEOPLE, BUT THEIR DISLOCATION CAN RUN AGAINST THE WHEEL AND CAUSE A SERIES OF ADVERSE EVENTS, EVEN THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSING CONTROL. MASERATI KNOWS OF THE ISSUE, IS CONCEALING THE ISSUE, HAS REFUSED TO PROVIDE A RECALL FOR THE DEFECTIVE WHEEL LINERS, AND ARE INSTEAD FORCING THE CONSUMER TO MITIGATE IT ON THEIR OWN.

WHEELS

IN 2015 I LEASED A MASERATI GHIBLI AT RUSNAK PASADENA CA WITH A 39 MONTH LEASE TERM.

LUCKY, WE WERE DRIVING ON LOCAL STREET AT AVERAGE SPEED OF 30 MPH, OTHER WISE THIS SUDDEN STOP COULD HAVE GET US HIT BY OTHER CARS AND/OR SUSTAINING A SERIOUS HEAD INJURY RESULTING FROM A ROLLOVER CAR ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS SUDDEN 'AUTO BRAKE LOCK' ON CITY STREET. THIS SUDDEN 'AUTO BREAK LOCK' MADE A VERY LOUD SQUEAKING SOUND AND MADE A BLACK TRACK MARK ON THE ROAD. ALL THREE OF US ON THE CAR WERE TERRIFIED. OUR CAR'S DASH BOARD DID NOT SHOW ANY WARNING LIGHT OR SERVICE LIGHT BEFORE OR AFTER THIS HAPPENED (BRAKE MELT FUNCTION). THIS CAR IS BRAND NEW WHEN I LEASED IT IN 2015 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE AROUND '15196' MILES. SINCE IT STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY THEN THE CAR DEALER WILL REPAIR FOR FREE. IT'S ALREADY BEEN SIT IN THE DEALER REPAIR SHOP FOR ALMOST TWO MONTHS NOW, UNTIL TODAY(7/5/2018) THE DEALER STILL HASN'T PROVIDE A PROPER EXPLANATION OF WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED? AND I DON'T WANT TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS CAR, I AM SO CONCERNED AND WORRIED IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. IT IS SO SCARY WHEN THE CAR STOPS ABRUPTLY BY ITSELF, AND THE PART REALLY BOTHERS ME IS I DON'T KNOW WHEN THIS 'AUTO BRAKE LOCKING' WILL HAPPEN AGAIN? WITHOUT ANY WARNING SIGN, THE WORST PART IS THE EVEN THE DEALER DOESN'T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR THIS, THEY JUST CHANGED THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND CALLED IT DONE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER

I PURCHASED THE 2015 MASERATI GHIBLI SQ4 NOV 2015, AND AFTER 2000 MILES THE CAR HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR CONDITION STUCK IN DEFROST MODE. TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALER FOR SERVICE REPAIR AND THEY FOUND THE ISSUE WITH THE AIR CONDITION SOLENOID THAT WAS REPLACED. THEN I STARTED HAVING TOO MUCH FRONT WINDSHIELD DEFROST AND IT COVERS MY FRONT VIEW. TO REPRODUCE THE CONCERN START THE CAR AND OPEN UP THE 4 WINDOWS DRIVE UP FOR MORE THAN 15 MINUTES, THEN STOP THE CAR CLOSE THE WINDOWS AND TURN OF THE ENGINE. COME BACK AFTER 10 MIN OR MORE START THE ENGINE, ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS AND START DRIVING. YOU'LL FEEL THE HEAT INSIDE FROM THE ENGINE INSIDE THE CAR, AND YOU'LL START SEEING LARGE AMOUNT OF DEFROST INSIDE THE WINDSHIELD EVEN THE WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN. I HAD TO KEEP TURNING IN FRONT AND BACK DEFROST AND THE AIR CONDITION. TURN OFF THE AIR CONDITION KEEP DRIVING THEN THE DEFROST WILL COME BACK AGAIN AND THE ONLY WAY TO ELIMINATE THE DEFROST YOU HAVE TO KEEP BOTH DEFROST AND AIR CONDITION ON ALL THE TIME. THE SERVICE SHOP STATED THIS IS WORKING AS DESIGNED. PLEASE ADVICE!
