I was driving and i heard a loud noise the axle broke causing me to lose control and crash into 2 park cars. I at first thought i was hit by another car but upon further research i discovered i was not hit. When we purchased the car we were told there were no prior accidents or repairs. The accident revealed various parts of the car to have bondo proving prior repairs were done. We were deceived into buying this car. If we were not lied to and were told the truth about prior repairs we would’nt of bought the car. The car is completely totaled now. This is fraud

While driving at low speeds, under 5mph, the car will shift itself into neutral. This happens while slowing, coasting, or slow accelerations. This has caused an immediate safety issue as you lose control of the car, especially when the shift into neutral is a hard shift. This hard shift will cause you to loose traction on wet, icy, or snowy surfaces. Although this is a known issue for this model and year, the vin for my specific vehicle shows of no recalls yet the problem persists. I am listing a date of yesterday as this is the most recent occurrence, though i have experienced it for the 2 years that i have owned the vehicle and it has been reported to the used dealership that i purchased it from. There is no longer a maserati dealer or service center in alaska. I have been in touch with other owners here in alaska that have experienced the same issue.

When driving on the highway, almost all warning lights came on. I was in the middle lane and decided it best to get off the highway asap. I stepped on the gas as i looked to accelerate when changing lanes. The car did not speed up. I was able to make it off the highway at the next exit. As i was trying to come to a stop at the light, i pressed on the brakes and the car was not slowing down. I had already been decelerating coming up a hill prior to getting off the highway and thankfully the car came to a stop prior to hitting anyone or running through the traffic light at the end of the off ramp. There were no cars around. If there had been, i would have hit them. I had the car towed to the dealership. The towing company was able to reset the warning lights by temporarily disconnecting the battery. Prior to that, i could not take the car out of park. After the reset, the towing company was able to drive it onto the truck. The car had just come back from the dealership after its annual maintenance the day before. The dealer thinks that it may be related to software updates that had been made to the vehicle, but that has not been confirmed. I feel that i am very fortunate to be alive as without the brakes, i was a danger to myself and others. This specific problem has not occurred before.
On or around 12 october, my levante 2017 with 85 k mileage, started showing check engine light. I called the dealership the next day. The car stalled on the highway 3-5 times before i got to the dealership. I was told that the engine is dead and the car is not drivable anymore. This is a safety issue. Stalling on a major highway can be dangerous. There are 3-4 other cases (online searching) whose same levante 2017 model had the same issue at very low mileages. The engine on that model is faulty and maserati of north america should be held accountable and recall so that it does not become a serious issues with other drivers still on the road. I now have to pay 38k to replace the engine being ordered from italy. Maserati of north américa will not help me with this. They should recall this model to check the defect in their twin turbo engine.
