INTERMITTENT HARD BRAKE PEDAL INABILITY TO STOP THE CAR IN A SAFE MANNER. I HAD THE VACUUM BOOSTER PUMP REPLACED TWICE. ONCE THE REPAIR LASTED FOR A YEAR THEN THE LAST TIME THE INCIDENT REOCCURED AFTER THE SECOND REPAIR. THE FIRST TIME PRIOR TO REPAIR THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT TRAVELLING A 5 MPH AFTER THE FIRST REPAIR THERE WAS A HARD BRAKING INCIDENT THAT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AT AROUND 40 MPH. THEN HAD NEW BOOSTER PUMP REPAIRED. AFTER SECOND BOOSTER PUMP REPAIR THERE WAS ONOTHER HARD BRAKING PEDAL INCIDENT BUT WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITH EXTREME DIFFICULTY. THE FIRST INCIDENT AT 5 MPH MY WIFE WAS DRIVING.

There is a recall for a rear differential issue and Maserati had previously repaired the differential. However, the problem has persisted and I have about 41k miles on the vehicle and already having the same issue. There is a whining noise in the rear along with a leaking rear differential. Both signs of the original problem. Maserati has stated that the repair has already been done but this raises a serious safety concern as it could result in the rear differential locking up and causing an accident.

I was on my way home from work sitting at the red light and when I was release my feet from the brake to take to driving, the auto start failed to start the car and I was stuck on side the road for 30 minutes because my vehicle wouldn’t not start. Finally the car started but I couldn’t get it to go over 15 mph. The car has been to the shop twice for service. Once was an electrical and the other time they couldn’t find nothing wrong with it. They said it just needed service. I serviced the vehicle as recommended and now it back doing the same thing again.

Sitting at at red light with the start/stop system on, as I release the break pedal on a green light, the gear automatically has shifted to park. The car shows no signs that it has turned off or warnings that it has shifted gears on its own. I have to manually change gear to drive to get the car to move. I am aware that the recall was done for this issue but there has been no successful resolution to the problem. The car was taken to Rusnak Pasadena on July 21, 2021 and since they could not duplicate the concern, there was nothing done. The car was then taken to Maserati of Puente Hills as the issue continued. As per the dealership, on their maserati system, it shows that my car did not qualify for their recall and it would not be considered to be a manufacturing issue. This is a major safety concern as it can cause an accident

The vehicle was manufactured with laminated glass for all windows and the glass is delaminating and forming bubbles around glass edges which compromises the integrity of the glass. On my vehicle, it affects all 4 windows and both front and rear windshields. This issue is widely reported on forums and group message boards and seems to affect all years of the Maserati Ghibli from 2014+. I have inquired with a local independent shop and was told that this is a safety concern and to try to reach out to the dealership. Reaching out to the dealership, I have not received a response. Others have said they had mixed results with the dealerships replacing their glass even with warranty. Others out of warranty were denied replacement or were told it is normal and not to worry.

Stopped at stop sign and slowly tried to accelerate. The car moved forward into oncoming traffic and almost stalled. To compensate I had to press accelerator hard and then engine finally woke back up. This has happened another time where the car stalled and shifted into neutral. This is a safety issue so now I accelerate aggressively so the car does not stall. There was a recall performed prior to my ownership that was report to have been performed but it seems it didn't resolve the issue completely.

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 60 MPH AND HAD TO BREAK BECAUSE A VEHICLE PULLED IN FRONT OF ME. MY VEHICLE SLOWED VERY WELL BUT WHEN I EASED UP OFF THE BREAK THE VEHICLE JUST ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AT A VERY HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I ALMOST COLLIDED WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I BRAKED AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE SLOWED BUT WHEN I EASED UP OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR AGAIN ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. IT DID THIS FOR ABOUT FOUR TIMES UNTIL I HAD TO PULL OVER OFF THE ROAD AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND WAITED FOR A WHILE BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR AND DRIVE HOME. I WAS DRIVING ON FM 1960/CYPRESS CREEK PARKWAY.
