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.

I purchased this vehicle from northside imports in houston on the night of february 1st. On february 5th i drove it to work and noticed that on the rough roads the steering wheel vibrates/shakes terribly to point where it hurtled my hand. I called and notified the sales person about it and he told me to bring the vehicle in. I dropped the car off at the dealership for them to fix the problem. A few days later i got a call from the dealership saying the wheel was bent and that i must have hit a pothole and i am going to have to pay to get the car wheel fixed because when they sold me the vehicle it was not like that and that i must damaged the vehicle. I got furious. They sold me the vehicle exactly like that and now did not want to fix the problem. I have pictures showing how they delivered the vehicle to me that night. Finally they decided to fix the problem but instead of replacing the bent wheel they sent it out and had it repaired for $125.00. I think this is unacceptable. I just spent over $49,000 to purchase a certified preowned maserati and this is what this dealership was doing. Now the problem is still not fixed. The steering wheel still vibrates/shakes on rough roads.

I have complaining to the dealer since i bought the car about noise on the steering wheel and transmission. The car since purchased on 2016 has been out for service 62 days. I reported several times a loud klunk noise on the steering and on the , took it to repair. Took the car to have it fix several times and the car continued with the problem. Last time after taking the car from service the car started pulling to the sides. The car was aligned, balance and new wheels were place this year. After several attempts this past month of july i submitted a lemon law claim. The claim has been poorly mishandled. The car a month later inspected and after inspection the car started pulling in the highway. We reported this to the person handling the case, as we were afraid it can cause an accident. Finally last monday on i-95 in miami the vehicle hydroplaned hit the highway divider and crashed. Thankfully all vehicles behind stopped and no one was hurt but maserati usa still has not take measures nor look up to the case. This vehicle had previous reports of recalls with problems on transmission. To my car the dealer had to replace twice bolts, parts in the transmission and on the axes.

The oil pressure light came on the display. The oil level was topped off and the oil light went off. The vehicle light came back on and the vehicle was immediately pulled over. The oil pressure display was reading about 25%, the vehicle was started and started to shake make a load noise from the engine. The vehicle was turned off and we notified maserati emergency roadside assistance that we needed the vehicle towed to the dealership. We were notified that the dealership had cancelled all the vehicle error codes because there were too many. We were then told that the vehicle would be getting an oil change and an extensive road test. The next day we were told the vehicle needed a new engine but we had to furnish proof of an oil change. We had the oil changed 6 months prior but the repair shop had new ownership and they did not have the prior repair records. When we informed boardwalk ferrari maserati that we did not have the receipt we were told that maserati was not going to honor the vehicle warranty. The vehicle is still at the dealership01
