The contact owns a 2014 Maserati Ghibli. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer where a manufacturer recall was performed and the front driver's side mat and accelerator pedal were replaced; however, the contact stated that while driving, the front driver's side floor mat hooks failed. As a result, the front driver's side floor mat slipped underneath the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal and almost caused an accident. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the floor mat and hooks needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the recall was closed and advised to call the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000

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.

I WAS DRIVING AND THE GAS PEDAL GOT STUCK AND THE CAR ACCELERATED AT A HIGH SPEED ON ITS OWN AND I WAS TERRIFIED. I WAS ON A CITY STREET DRIVING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL GOING STRAIGHT.

EARLY GHIBLIS ARE KNOWN TO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE CONNECTION OF THE TURBO WASTE GATE ACTUATOR TO THE WASTE GATE. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL CAMPAIGN TO ADD A CLIP TO THESE CARS TO QUIET RATTLING ON THAT JOINT. MY CAR HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED, AND SUBSEQUENTLY BEGAN RATTLING AGAIN. I REPORTED THIS TO MY SERVICE CENTER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RATTLE I WAS HEARING WAS NORMAL, ALL GHIBLIS DO IT. SEVERAL MONTHS PASSED AND THE RATTLE GOT WORSE, SO I TOOK THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME THAT NOT ONLY ARE THE CLIPS TO PREVENT RATTLING MISSING, BUT THE C CLIPS THAT HOLD THE ACTUATOR ON TO THE WASTE GATE ARE MISSING. THIS IS APPARENTLY A WELL-KNOWN ISSUE TO MASERATI THAT CAN RESULT IN ENGINE DAMAGE IF THE WASTE GATES FAIL TO OPEN, MASERATI REFUSES TO ADMIT THAT THIS IS A FAULTY DEIGN AND REPAIR THE VEHICLE, AND AS I AM OUT OF WARRANTY WANTS TO CHARGE ME NEARLY $10,000 TO REPLACE BOTH TURBOS.
