2015 MASERATI GHIBLI Electrical System Problems

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...

HEATER ACTUATOR FAILED AFTER 13,000 MILES. HEATER STOPPED WORKING WHEN TURNED ON. COMPANY REDESIGNED PART BUT REFUSED TO REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY AFTER THE PARTS FAILED ON MANY CARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 MASERATI GHIBLI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED UP TO 70 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY PULLING UP THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FLICKERED AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS OPERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER BUT HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,045.

PURCHASE THIS CAR IN DECEMBER 2015 AND ONLY PLACED 2500 MILES ON THE AUTO AND SERVICE ATTENDANT SAID YOU MUST DRIVE THE CAR 4000 MILES TO KEEP THE BATTERY CHARGED. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE AUTO FOR 6 MONTHS. SPOKE TO THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER AND THIS IS ONE OF THE ISSUES OF THIS VEHICLE. THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE ME FOR A BATTERY IN WHICH I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR 6 MONTHS.
