NHTSA complaint #11131104, filed 2018-09, 18,350 miles2015: “Rear breaks pads at minimal under 13,300 miles on the car. Maserati refuse to replace them under warranty. I understand its wear and tear but not when the car has 13,300 miles. No car will put you to replace break pads at low low miles. I am sure this could be manufacturing malfunction faulty and it I'm sure there is other Maserati owners has the same problem.”
