Maserati have had an issue where the car is parked too close to the key and it picks up the and turns the systems on. This is causing batteries to go flat. There is a software update out so make sure you take it to the dealer to have it installed. I was told that even though they can do over the air updates, they will not be doing it.

is the car parked close to the Key at night?

I owned my Grecale less than 24 hours and had a dead battery. I agree this shouldn't be happening

They did release a software update to fix it which I assume your car has but it may be worth moving the key further away for a period of time to see if that helps. I haven’t had the HUD issue but I’ve had other issues so I understand your frustration. I’m letting my lawyer deal with it now.

If close means the key fob was inside the home approximately 30 feet away, then yes, but that is a pretty far distance for the car to detect and through doors. I have since performed a trickle charge which took several hours because NOW the HUD doesn't work even though the car is set as HUD on.

I purchased my Grecale GT on June 10, 2023, and by June 17, 2023, the vehicle was brought in via flat bed due to a dead battery. The vehicle had 311 miles on the odometer. The dealer kept the car until June 21, 2023, and then declared the car "Good to go." According to the dealer the vehicle had multiple software upgrades that were needed one of which was designed to help with battery issues. I picked the car up on June 21, 2023, and by June 23, 2023, the vehicle was towed back to the dealership for the same issue. Dead battery! The vehicle had 360 miles on it when towed in. The car is still at the dealership today. The dealership did a deep cycle charge on the battery with no luck and then they were instructed by Maserati Engineering to install a higher output battery. Currently they are holding the vehicle for a few days to see if the vehicle losses power. In addition to this I have had all of the other issues that other Grecale owners are reporting, doors hard to get into, key not detected while driving down the road, and the other one is the auto stop/start is sometimes on with out me pushing the button and sometimes it isn't. I'm hoping the battery issues will be resolved....if not I may have a lemon.

What state are you in? Make sure to read the lemon law for your state. Most states are 3-5 repair attempts for the same issue or 30 days of total repair time. I’m in the middle of the process and it is not fun and don’t expect a quick resolution. It takes months to get through the whole process.

They have updated the owners manual to say the key must be further than 6 meters from the car when parked. This seems to be what’s causing the issue.

16 meters? nowhere in my house is 16 meters from the garage

It’s 6 meters!

 

[WarrenB]

I hope it is 6 meters, post #58 someone said 16 meters.

Maserati just needs to fix it! The Rivian uses your home address and gps which tells the car to stop searching for the keys. I’m guessing a lot of other cars use the same solution.
