2017 Maserati Ghibli recalls
Engine may cut out or transmission may shift to neutral at low speed
Engine control software can cause the transmission to unexpectedly shift into neutral or park, or cause the engine to shut off, when driving at slow speeds such as in stop-and-go traffic.
Front seat wiring can rub and short, risking fire
Adjusting the front power seats may cause the seat wiring harness to rub against other parts.
Loose Rear Differential Nut Can Lock Wheels and Cause Crashes
The rear differential pinion nut may not have been tightened properly during manufacture, so it can loosen over time.
Tires may crack on sidewall, causing air loss and crash risk
Certain Pirelli P Zero All Season tires, size 275/40R19 101W, may develop cracks in the lower sidewall.
Rearview camera may shut off in freezing temperatures
In temperatures below freezing, the entertainment telematics module (ETM) on certain 2017 vehicles built between July 1 and November 14, 2016 may enter a protection mode that disables the back-up camera.

INTERMITTENT HARD BRAKE PEDAL INABILITY TO STOP THE CAR IN A SAFE MANNER. I HAD THE VACUUM BOOSTER PUMP REPLACED TWICE.

THE FIRST TIME PRIOR TO REPAIR THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT TRAVELLING A 5 MPH AFTER THE FIRST REPAIR THERE WAS A HARD BRAKING INCIDENT THAT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AT AROUND 40 MPH.

Both signs of the original problem.

The car was taken to Rusnak Pasadena on July 21, 2021 and since they could not duplicate the concern, there was nothing done.
