The car started normally. This vehicle is gas dependent and has a dangerous gas leak. This vehicle is available for inspection upon request. It has a safety inspection sticker on it as of May 2022. This safety is a risk throughout our community after being driven and gas spilled in large amounts. The vehicle stopped and had to be manually reconfigured to return to the residence. This is temporary fix. I do not know if this is reproduced problem. We were directed to contact the dealership who fixed or repaired the problems related to Campaign 205. Criswell Maserati of Germantown, Maryland was contacted on 4 August and the Service Departed provided information concerning the repairs to be corrected and no additional repairs related to Campaign 205. This vehicle has been safety inspected at the time of purchased in December 2021. There were not symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. We drove the vehicle from King George, Va to Woodbridge Va without any indicators.

TAKATA RECALL.... THE SUSPENSION ON MY 2005 MASERATI, MODEL IS A QUADROPORTTE, IS GIVING WAY. WHEN I GO OVER ANY BUMPS ON THE ROAD, THE SUSPENSION IS GIVING AWAY. YOU CAN HEAR IT RATTLE, AND ALMOST SOUNDS AS THOUGH, IT'S GOING TO BREAK IN HALF. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO MASERATI AND THEY "STONE WALLED ME A BIT, BUT SAID THAT IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE STRUT BAR, AND OR THE SUSPENSION. THIS CAR HAS BECOME VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND I WANT TO ALERT THE FEDERAL AUTHORITIES. I WOULD WANT MASERATI TO RECALL THIS CAR TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THE PROBLEM AND PREVENT LOSS OF LIFE. THE SUSPENSION PROBLEM IS ON THE RIGHT HALF OF THE MASERATI SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE MIDDLE AND BACK. WE HAVE HAD THREE TECHNICIANS EVALUATE THIS PROBLEM AND ALL SAY THAT MASERATI NEEDS TO RECALL THE CAR. THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
