SO U DRIVE THE CAR AND THE DISPLAY SHOW, DISPLAY TOO HOT AND THAN SHUTS OFF. LAST MONTH I WAS MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY, THINKING I CAN JOIN THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC WITH THE HORSEPOWER AND SPEED I HAVE, MY CAR GOT STUCK AT 30MPH ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DRIVE WITHOUT NO KNOWLEDGE IT WONT GO MORE THAN 30MPH AND RPM RAISED TO 6 OR 7. ITS BEEN IN SHOP FOR ALMOST 40 DAYS AND THEY ARE SAYING I LL GET IT BACK TODAY EVERY OTHER DAY. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING. I HOPE SOMEONE DOESNT GET INTO ACCIDENT CAUSE THEY WILL THINK THE CAN JOIN THE SPPED OF THE TRAFFIC WHEN IT GETS STUCK AT 30MPH
Was driving 65 in a 65 mph zone. Lightly drizzling. Felt something happen to passenger front tire or suspension. Car spun out of control, rolled and crashed into rocks in NM. Was recently taking my 2019 Maserati Levante in for service and front lower arms were broken. I am at about the same mileage with the 2019 (35k vs 40k on the 2018). Could this same issue be the culprit or was I supposed to receive a recall notice about faulty welding that I see has happened in other 2018 Levantes?
THE RIGHT WHEEL WELL INSERT CAME UNSCREWED AND ONE OF THE SCREWS BLEW THE RIGHT REAR TIRE AS EXITING THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 50 MPH
