The contact owns a 2014 Maserati Ghibli. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer where a manufacturer recall was performed and the front driver's side mat and accelerator pedal were replaced; however, the contact stated that while driving, the front driver's side floor mat hooks failed. As a result, the front driver's side floor mat slipped underneath the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal and almost caused an accident. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the floor mat and hooks needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the recall was closed and advised to call the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000

WHEN ACCELERATING, THE GAS PEDAL GOT STUCK. APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH AGO, IT HAPPENED. MY HUSBAND THOUGHT THAT MAYBE HE STEPPED ON THE GAS INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE SO HE DIDN'T REPORT IT. THEN YESTERDAY, WE WERE ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY CHILDREN AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. EVEN WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR KEPT ACCELERATING AND GOT STUCK TO THE FLOOR. MY HUSBAND THOUGHT MAYBE THE GAS PEDAL GOT STUCK ON THE FLOOR MAT SO HE PULLED IT BACK. HE HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND PUMPED ON THE BRAKES UNTIL IT STOPPED. HE THEN CONTINUED DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND ACCELERATED AGAIN AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS CAR IS A DEATHTRAP AND THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED ASAP. *TR
