What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
I finance a preown maserati in 2017 from ca. In march 2019 I had a minor collision and the front end of my vehicle was damage. My car set at the body shop for 1 1/2 month before they told me it was total. I was appalled because the damage was minor.
I had been driving an unsafe vehicle and now my insurance carrier wants to total the it.
That made my car go directly into probably a 40' tall wooden light pole, we snapped the pole about 2' above ground level and the pole went up in the air and came down on top off the car, smashed the sun roof, the top of the car, the truck and bounce off the car onto the ground on the passenger side.
Also, while driving the message "Service Parking Brake" had remain displayed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who performed a software update but the failures continued to occurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failures but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 83,000.
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.
The doors will not lock, only driver side work. The unlock feature work but pressing the remote or door button will not lock the door. The auto door lock after starting the vehicle does not work either.
While driving on a public street, the engine began to lose power and failed to respond to accelerator input, eventually stalling. The transmission and power steering locked and the vehicle would not restart, precluding timely clearance of the vehicle from the street where it was partially blocking traffic.
The vehicles infotainment center went out, seemingly after the car battery went dead after sitting at the airport for 4 days. I can't operate any functions of the car including radio, a/c, back up camera ect.
