THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MASERATI OF CENTRAL FLORIDA (525 S LAKE DESTINY DR, LOCKHART, FL 32810, (407) 667-0273) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 31,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
I WAS DRIVING ON I-10 NEAR PALM SPRINGS, CA FEBRUARY 27 AT ABOUT 12:10 AM. I PASSED A SEMI-TRUCK BY MOVING TO THE LEFT AND ACCELERATING. AFTER PASSING THE TRUCK I MOVED BACK TO THE SLOW LANE AND NOTICED THE CAR WAS TRAVELING VERY FAST. I BEGIN BRAKING THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN AND REALIZED THE CAR WAS ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. THE BRAKING WAS NOT NOTICEABLY SLOWING THE CAR ( AND AS YOUR RECALL CITES IT SHOULD, THE BRAKING DID NOT DISENGAGE THE ACCELERATOR.) I THEN PLACED THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. OF COURSE THIS SOLVED THE IMMEDIATE PROBLEM. NONETHELESS THE ENGINE WAS STILL RACING AND I THEN HAD TO WEDGE MY SHOE UNDER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND FORCEFULLY LIFT IT OFF THE FLOORBOARD. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING EVENT FOR SOME DRIVERS AS THIS VEHICLE HAS VERY FAST ACCELERATION LEAVING LITTLE TIME TO REACT BEFORE THE CAR WOULD BE TRAVELLING AT 175 MPH ETC. OF COURSE I SEE THE RECALL, BUT I AM WRITING BECAUSE I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS WAS CAUSED BY A LOOSE FLOOR MAT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMPUTER INPUT PROBLEM AS I NEVER HAD PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO BE STUCK THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. THE PEDAL WAS ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR WHEN I TRIED TO LIFT IT. SECONDLY, THE BRAKE- ENGINE DISCONNECT DID NOT WORK. I DO HAVE VIDEO OF THIS EVENT ON MY DASHCAM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM DUE TO THE NATURE OF IT AND IS VASTLY COMPOUNDED BY THE RAPID ACCELERATION OF THIS CAR.
