Complaints
The systems that failed is the emergency parking brake, as well as, the tire pressure monitoring system. Both systems would be available for inspection on request. Due to the failure of the emergency parking brake places not only the safety of others but myself, as well, at risk in the event of an emergency braking situation. Due to the failure of the tire pressure monitoring system could also place others safety and myself at risk by causing a tire to be flat without me being aware. Upon taking my vehicle to the dealership for the TPMS recall they said that I could book a service appointment with a service advisor to get the recall completed, however, the TPMS recall was never completed. Currently, the vehicle has not been inspected by anyone at this time. There is currently a warning light for the TPMS sensors, for the Electronic Parking Brake when parking the car the EPB will engage automatically the only way to disengage it is by shifting the vehicle out of park to another gear such as reverse, neutral or drive. When trying to operate the EPB while parked or while driving, it does not engage. The TPMS warning light came on around the end of 2020 in December. The EPB stopped engaging around April of 2021 this year.
THIS CAR, WHEN SOLD WITH THE 20" WHEELS HAS IS UNABLE TO SAFELY NEGOTIATE USUAL HIGHWAY CONDITIONS. THE TIRES FREQUENTLY BUBBLE OR BLOW OUT FROM THE SLIGHTEST IMPERFECTION IN THE ROAD SURFACE. THE CAR, FITTED WITH THIS TIRE AND WHEEL CONFIGURATION IS UNSAFE. YOU NEED TO DO A STUDY OF TIRE FAILURE IN THIS YEAR CAR WITH THOSE WHEELS AND YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES BUT SINCE THEY MAKE THEIR MONEY FIXING FLATS THEY HAVE NO INTEREST IN ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM. I REPORTED IT TO MASERATI CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS THE DEALERS REPORT THIS AS A PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MANY TYPES OF CARS FOR OVER 38 YEARS AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS IS DEFINITELY A HIGHLY ABNORMAL SITUATION. I HAVE NAMES OF OTHER PEOPLE I KNOW WHO HAVE THE SAME CAR AND CAN ATTEST TO THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM. *TR
