Description of the problem | After 365 ignition flash recall, the car started to fail to accelerate properly on demand while in motion on a highway. I felt like the gears were slipping, did not engage the proper gear on acceleration. Causing the car to loose speed instead of increasing speed. Dealership confirmed with maserati corporate that the problem was electronic and would have to be coded in italy at the manufacturing place. Dealership asked maserati corporation to replace the car with new car since there is no fix to the problem and it was deemed a safety hazard. Maserati corporation declined to abide by the decision of the dealership in jacksonville. The car remained at the service shop because the car is deemed unsafe to drive. Car has been at the service shop for about 4 months. Dealership demanded to return the loaner car. Car will be considered a lemon according to the florida lemon law as per lawyer. Other similar cars may have the same problem. |
