I’ve had my car for a week and I am enjoying it, love the design and fell good in it but I’m having lots of little issues which are become very irritating and a new one seems to appear daily. I’ve been in a Mercedes and BMW over the past 6 years and they both just worked out the dealer door. I don’t really expect to be dealing with this when paying this kind of money for a 4 cylinder car and a premium over comparable competitive brands . I have a Modena Limited Edition fully loaded with everything except for the roof racks. Is anyone else having these issues or what other issues are you finding?
1. Wireless charger doesn’t work. Maserati are updating a part in it and the dealer is waiting for the part from Italy.
2. Every now and then, the sound system will start playing out of one speaker on the driver side door. It seems the only way to fix it is to stop the car, turn off and open the door.
3. The key system including keyless entry is just hopeless. Keyless entry works when it wants to. Pushing the key button to lock the car doesn’t always work and at other times it locks but doesn’t beep. Exiting the car and walking around it in the garage to get inside sometimes results in 5 to 6 beeps. I never really know if the car is locked or not. To make it worse, rather than having a smaller speaker to provide an audible tone, it screams at you through the main horn/hooter so the key issues and all the honking is beginning to irritate my neighbors.
4. The trunk/boot kick sensor beeps but never opens it.
5. A speaker in the passenger door has a bad vibration even with normal base set.
6. An issue that has been happening which my dealer mentioned to me that I haven’t encountered is the battery is going flat In some cars. Supposedly the car has been recognizing people’s keys in their homes and turning the car systems on which has been draining the battery.
I worked with a few dealers on the east coast before buying and I could never figure out why none of them knew much about the car and I was teaching them as I had watched all the YouTube videos. It turns out Maserati will not give the dealers cars for their sales team to drive to get to know the car and help test it for them. I’m betting we as early adopters are beta testing the car for them and if that is the case, we should be paid for doing it
There are a lot of extremely positive reviews on YouTube so far but all by people who are doing quick test drives. I think I’m going to do one on my experiences to date to help people make an informed decision and make them understand what they are buying in to. A potentially great car that is very new and still has a lot of issues that need to be resolved.
What are your experiences so far?
