MY VEHICLE HAS TWO FAULTS THAT I BELIEVE ARE UNSAFE. FIRST, WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE HAS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS PUT ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC) WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS ON AUGUST 24, 2026, AT LOW SPEED IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC PRESENT. I LOST DRIVE PART WAY THROUGH THE TURN AND HAD TO RESTART THE ENGINE WHILE STOPPED IN THE ROADWAY TO CLEAR THE INTERSECTION. THERE HAS BEEN NO CRASH AND NO INJURY. SECOND, THE VEHICLE I…

I purchased this 2020 Maserati Levante in 2023. The first month of driving it, it shut down in the middle of the street on Crenshaw Blvd. I freaked out and restarted it after few seconds. For the past years of purchasing this vehicle, the engine light keeps coming on and off.The camera never worked good because it would freeze, the screen would be blue, green, or red or completely blank out, with no rear view which is very dangerous. I would start the vehicle and engine light on dashboard. I called dealership and was told it happens when gas i…

At slow speeds or when stopped vehicle shifts from drive into neutral by itself. Transmission May Shift into Neutral If the transmission unexpectedly shifts to neutral, or the engine shuts down, there is an increased risk of a crash. The contact stated that the issues still persist today and have almost caused two accidents.

When driving and approaching a stop at under 20 miles per hour, the brakes will fail and reverberate making a recoiling sound if I hit a bump or small pothole in the road. At that time, I loose control of the car because all braking systems fail. The car will continue to roll out of my control. There are no warning lights and the emergency brake also fails at this time. It is through the grace of God that I do not run into a person, auto or property. Again, this is a, "Certified" vehicle which I paid an extra $2,500/year to assure the vehi…
