Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

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.

WHEELS

This Diagnostic Sheet provides updated diagnostic and repair guidance for a potential wheel hub clicking noise condition on M182 Grecale ICE vehicles (all model years). The procedures outlined are intended to assist technicians in accurately identifying and correcting axle shaft and wheel hub related noise concerns that may be present during low‑speed operation, reversing, or initial vehicle launch.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
