The car unintentionally accelerates. This happened on 3 different occasions. The 1st occurrence happened approximately two weeks after purchasing the vehicle. It's a 2015 model. I purchased a vehicle in august 2020. The 2nd occurrence happened nov 12 and today nov 21. The 1st time this happened i did some research and it seemed like there was an issue with maseratis floor own floor mats. At the time and prior to knowing this, i had put brand new floor mats of my own in the vehicle completely unaware that this was an oem issue. After this happened the 1st time, i removed my personal floor mats thinking that would solve the issue. The 2nd time this happened, the issue was slight and there were no other cars around me. I thought maybe it was an operator issue using manual shifting perhaps. At any rate i was able to regain control of the 2nd occurrence rather quickly to the point where this was almost unnoticeable. This third time the vehicle completely lost control and i had to depress the break pedal %100 in traffic to regain control of the car. Meanwhile, it would still continue to do the acceleration. The car was screeching and accelerating with me depressing the brake pedal. I pulled off safely on the side of the road with the brake pedal 100% depressed. I threw the vehicle in park and the problem went away. This vehicle doesn't allow you to shift into neutral while occurring.(unsafe)i don't think this issue has relevance to the current recall for this model, which is floormat related. When trying to regain control of the vehicle i consciously tried to see if the pedal was stuck and it was not. Also there are no reported recalls for my particular vin so i'm reporting this now.I have since contacted maserati and have a current repair scheduled. At this time, i don't know if they will do this repair free of charge but will have follow-up details available if need be.

California emissions warranty concern for high pressure fuel pump system failure. Multiple high pressure fuel pump system failures within 12 months and a few thousand miles. Maserati north america is unwilling to cover an emissions warranty component under 7 year/70,000 mile california emissions warranty. Fuel pump was previously repaired by maserati of van nuys 9/24/2018 under warranty. At that time a workmanship issue occurred during a warranty claim at an authorized maserati service center. The fuel pump bolt was damaged. Fuel pump has now failed again 8/2019 and vehicle has returned to rusnak maserati of pasadena. Dealer has confirmed active check engine light due to failed hp fuel pump. Maserati will not complete emissions repair due to damaged/stripped bolt. Maserati of van nuys has since gone out of business and changed ownership since original warranty claim repair. I have been quoted over $3,100 to complete repair due to damaged bolt that occurred during a warranty claim at an authorized maserati dealer paid by maserati north america. Maserati na have also refused to provide a claim denial letter and we are slowly approaching the 30 day time limit for emissions related repair timelines.

The felt wheel liner on both front wheels is defective. Maserati along with all dealers i've spoken to know of the issue. I spoke to the service manager at the collection/maserati in miami and he stated they are replacing them every single day (yet maserati refuses to fix the defective product under warranty). They become torn and dislodged when going through puddles/normal road conditions (when it's raining). Once dislodged, it is a safety hazard. Not only can they fly up underneath the vehicle and hit objects/vehicles/people, but their dislocation can run against the wheel and cause a series of adverse events, even the possibility of losing control. Maserati knows of the issue, is concealing the issue, has refused to provide a recall for the defective wheel liners, and are instead forcing the consumer to mitigate it on their own.

While driving at safe speed in snow and slush, stability was lost. I was in the left lane passing a truck, between the center divider and the truck, while in a mild right turn uphill. The left tires caught some slush, and i corrected trying to remain in the lane and avoiding the divider and the truck by steering right, then countersteering left, then right again.. Two corrections to the right with the tail moving left activated the esc. As my hd video shows, the corrective action activated the esc and took control from me and violently drove me into the divider by activating the left front brake. I bounced off the divider into the truck's tractor rear tires, spun, and then back into the wall. I had control, even with the unstable condition, up until the esc activated. As a professional pilot and a driver who's been driving on snow and ice since age 15, i understand control, loss of control, and how to regain it. I had control until the safety system took it from me. I have had 747s moving sideways down the runway and have always regained control. Never in my private or professional life have i had a computerized safety system endanger my life. But in this instance it most definitely did. Had i not hit the truck's tires i most likely would have gone under the trailer and been decapitated or otherwise injured or killed. The history of esc shows it has a successful record. However, in this instance it is directly responsible for the accident. I had esc activate once before in the same vehicle on dry pavement, and it did remarkably well. But it this incident which destroyed my prized maserati, it either activated with too much force or activated along with my countersteering. Nevertheless, without a edr download, the data cannot be analyzed. Only my recollection and my video can be seen.
