Example complaints
Fuel system: “The car started normally. This vehicle is gas dependent and has a dangerous gas leak. This vehicle is available for inspection upon request. It has a safety inspection sticker on it as of May 2022. This safety is a risk throughout our community after being driven and gas spilled in large amounts. The vehicle stopped and had to be manually reconfigured to return to the residence. This is temporary fix. I do not know if this is reproduced problem. We were directed to contact the dealership who fixed or repaired the problems related to Campaign 205. …”
NHTSA complaint #11477552, filed 2022-08Suspension: “Takata recall.... The suspension on my 2005 Maserati, model is a quadroportte, is giving way. When I go over any bumps on the road, the suspension is giving away. You can hear it rattle, and almost sounds as though, it's going to break in half. The car was taken to Maserati and they stone walled me a bit, but said that it has something to do with the strut bar, and or the suspension. This car has become very dangerous to drive and I want to alert the federal authorities. I would want Maserati to recall this car to straighten out the problem and prevent loss of life. …”
