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 …
The car would not go into Park. The park button flickered, and a message appeared on the dashboard stating that the vehicle was too fast to be put into Park, even though the car was completely stopped in a parking lot with the brake pedal engaged. After multiple attempts to press the button and engage the parking gear without success, I turned off the car using the power button, which eventually allowed it to shift into Park. This situation is extremely dangerous. If the parking gear were to engage unexpectedly and hit any objects or people, t…
The contact owns a 2023 Maserati Grecale. The contact stated while driving at approximately 45 MPH, the vehicle started losing motive power. The coolant warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was veered to the side of the road and restarted. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the battery needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 800.
While driving on the highway on 09/19/2025, my 2023 Maserati Grecale suddenly lost all electrical power. The battery failed without warning, and the vehicle became completely unresponsive, including loss of steering and braking functions. This created an extremely dangerous situation where I had no control over the car in the middle of a highway while driving at 55mph. This is a major safety defect. I no longer feel safe driving this vehicle and intend to return it. Immediate investigation is needed, as this failure could cause fatal accidents…

Vehicle lost power and cannot be started, cannot be moved due to no manual override for neutral gear. Upon research there are several people on Maserati Grecale forums experienced the same, with few being stuck on a busy highways immobile and cannot be towed easily due to no manual neutral override function. Same incident occurred twice and with the patchy dealer network and the dealer where the car was purchased new closed down/went out of business. Maserati customer service has no clue in addressing the issue.

This complaint concerns a safety related recall issued by Maserati. I'm required to drive over 100 miles to the nearest authorized dealership to have the recall performed. No closer repair option, mobile repair, or alternative remedy was offered. Requiring this distance creates an unreasonable burden and discourages timely completion of a safety recall, potentially placing drivers at risk. Last year there was another re-call where I had to drive over 100 miles as well.

The contact owns a 2023 Maserati Grecale. The contact stated that while driving 20 MPH and approaching a stop sign, the brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to stop as intended, made a loud revving sound, and the vehicle decelerated to approximately 15 MPH. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle passed the stop sign, and the contact manually turned off and parked the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was test-driven, but the failure could not be replicated. The contact was i…

CAR KEEPS LOCKING ITSELF, SOMETIMES WITH THE KEYS INSIDE. It is available for inspection. This issue is a major problem as the driver can be left stranded or if there are young children or pets in the car. The dealer has confirmed the problem and has no solution. We have tried all the lock settings to no avail. No warning signals from the car; we bought the vehicle used as a demo with 10,000km. Problems began immediately.

BRAKE FAILURE - SAFETY DEFECT RELEASED BY DEALER Brake pad warning light first appeared in February 2026. Dealer advised replacing rear brake pads. I chose to have the service performed at German Auto Care using original Maserati brake pads. Warning light continued intermittently after replacement. On 4/10/2026 during oil change service I informed dealer about ongoing brake pad warning light. Dealer repair order documented "8mm Pass" and returned vehicle. On 5/11/2026 manufacturer was emailed prior notice of unresolved brake safety defect an…
