I'm not sure how to explain but, there's so much going on with the vehicle. I purchased the vehicle as is but, was told they did an inspection and it was cleared. I was told that the brakes was brand new because, we heard squeaking. We took the vehicle for a diagnostic test because of the brakes. We got a quote for over $6114. What!! Brakes, suspension, hub, Wheel barren, Wheel aligment. What?? I just got this vehicle August 10, 2021 and this was November when this came up. We only had the brakes done which we paid over 1,000 and we were going to do the rest at another time. We begin having problems with the brakes and vehicle shaking bad when you drive up to 60 mph. We called them, they had no loaner car until February 18, 2022. We were told it'll be safe to drive until then. Took the vehicle in and still having brake problems and now they said, we definetly need to get suspension done because, it could possibly be the Hub and they want to do another diagnostics. So much wrong with vehicle. I asked about the recall because, I noticed something leaking from the back was told they will check it out but, if they don't see anything they don't have to fix it.. I told them there's a recall on it and it need to fix it but, they are refusing to fix it because, it was an AS IS VEHICLE.

Emergency brake failed while driving. No warning light or any symptom present. Fortunately no accident resulted. Reason was because emergency brake was locked on the entire time without knowing and became non-functional. Damaged most wheel components on rear driver side. Diagnosis: Malfunctioned emergency brake actuator. Very common problem with this model car. This should not happen.

Traded in 2013 Ford Explorer 2wd for 39K miles Range rover sport from a maserati dealer in daytona beach. The salesman promised a inspection report and we took for a test drive along I 95 southbound. I commented on braking and mild shaking of steerung wheel (juddering). Upon returning to dealer parking lot, inspected brake pads and rotos visably and appear to be an issue. I tried to get Land Rover dealers to check vehicle and called two from maserati dealer, but had to wait a week to get in. So I took the rrs and signed a "we owe you" form. Next day there GM and service debt couldnt help with brakes, so I tried to return rrs, to no avail. Finally took to lr of orlando and found warped rotors were the issue. Contacted maserati dealer, no help, he would not give me a copy of thw "we owe you" dealer form. Sent complaint to fl dmv complaint. No help. Took rrs after1100 miles to 2nd jlr dealer in NY, same issue, warped rotors. Most noticable when applyin brales over 65 mph. Judding- shimmy. Maserati dealer provided a copy of an ro a month before sale, showing front and rear rotors were machined and new pads installed. Owner dye stated three days after sale, when I spoke to him on brakes, he said, the new pads would wear in. Now 2 lr dealers want anywhere fron $700 to $1300 to replace rotors. Maserati dealer refuses to pay under 60day/3000 miles limited written warantee, and tlod me it was my right to get an attorney. The warp brakes can caused an accident on I 95 fl-NY if they lock up calibers. Had I4X4 Ford Bronco on a Friday nite. No fun, but safely stop and got repaced caliber/pads/rotor. Does anyone else have problems with maserati dealers, called maserati customer care no help!
