20040502CrashSTEERING
ON 3/28/04 I HAD AN ACCIDENT. I HAD NO IDEA WHY THIS HAPPENED. THE NEXT DAY, IN THE MAIL, I RECEIVED A "RECALL" LETTER FROM MASERATI S.P.A., MANUFACTURER OF MASERATI CARS TELLING ME THAT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MTSVS ACT THEY WERE REQUIRED TO ADVISE ME ABOUT A DEFECT IN MY CAR THAT "COULD LEAD TO A REDUCTION IN CONTROL AND POSSIBLY, A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING". THIS DEFECT INVOLVED MY CAR, AND INVOLVED "TWO OF THE FOUR SECURING BOLTS IN THE STEERING ASSEMBLY" THAT MAY BECOME LOOSE BECAUSE OF A MANUFACTURING ERROR. THE DEALER VERIFIED THAT THE TWO BOLTS REFERRED TO IN THE LETTER WERE VERY LOOSE. THEY ARRANGED FOR A REPRESENTATIVE OF MASERATI TO EXAMINE THE CAR. HE VERIFIED THE CONDITION, AND THEN SAID THAT EVEN THOUGH THE LETTER THEY SENT OUT SAID THIS DEFECT COULD CAUSE A CRASH, IT WAS NOT TRUE. THEY ONLY SAID WHAT THEY DID TO SATISFY THE NTMVSA. THIS DEFECT COULD NOT REALLY CAUSE A PROBLEM OR A CRASH, AND THEY WOULD NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. THE DAMAGE EXCEEDS $30,000.
