2023 Maserati LevanteElectrical system

My vehicle has two faults that I believe are unsafe. First, while driving, the vehicle has on multiple occasions put itself into neutral and shut the engine off. An electronic throttle control (etc) warning light illuminates when this happens. The most recent occurrence was on august 24, 2026, at low speed in the middle of a turn with oncoming traffic present. I lost drive part way through the turn and had to restart the engine while stopped in the roadway to clear the intersection. There has been no crash and no...

injury. Second, the vehicle intermittently fails to start. Sometimes it starts normally. Other times it will not start at all, and only starts after repeated attempts and a wait while the systems reset. The key fob battery has been replaced twice, once by me and once by the dealer in january 2026, and I have tried multiple key fobs. The problem continued in every case, so I do not believe the fob is the cause. The dealer's own repair records show repeated electrical faults on this vehicle. In february 2025 at 32,337 miles the vehicle stored code p00c1, displayed an electric throttle control message and was slow to accelerate; a wiring harness was found shorted against the a/c condenser pulley and fuse 37 had blown. That is the same warning I now see when the vehicle shuts down. In june 2026 at 64,485 miles the a/c compressor seized. In august 2026 at 65,625 miles the replacement compressor's clutch was found shorted at 0 ohms against a 3.3 Ohm specification, drawing over 12 amps on a circuit protected by a 10 amp fuse, which opened fuse f12. Two compressors failed in ten weeks. I do not know whether the stalling and the no-start are related to those electrical faults. Nobody has diagnosed them. The stalling has not been repaired and I have stopped driving the vehicle. Servicing dealer: maserati of charlotte, 400 tyvola road, charlotte, nc.

2020 Maserati LevanteElectrical systemEngine & cooling

I purchased this 2020 Maserati Levante in 2023. The first month of driving it, it shut down in the middle of the street on Crenshaw Blvd. I freaked out and restarted it after few seconds. For the past years of purchasing this vehicle, the engine light keeps coming on and off.The camera never worked good because it would freeze, the screen would be blue, green, or red or completely blank out, with no rear view which is very dangerous. I would start the vehicle and engine light on dashboard. I called dealership and...

was told it happens when gas is low. I didn't understand. I keep the vehicle 1/2 filled with gas. I keep seeing the engine light come on and goes off in one to two days.For the past 2 years. The "Start/Stop light comes on with an exclamation ️ mark for past 8 months. I would drive for a week or so and the see the engine light back on the dashboard. I have been to dealer at Vanuys Maserati 2 times with issues. The right passenger inside frame fell off in 2024. They fixed it . They told me the screws were loose. I went back on September 30, 2025, because the engine light came on again on September 28 & 29, 2025 and the Start/stop ️remains on. On that morning of September 30, 2025 the engine light miraculously came off. They did a diagnostic check and charged me $700 and told me I need a new reverse camera and a thermostat. So in all since 2023 of June, I have been having critical issues with camera blanks out. The engine light goes off and on. The start/stop don't work anymore. Please help me with this issue with a thorough investigation on this Maserati Levante 2020.

2017 Maserati LevanteElectrical systemEngine & cooling

I've owned this car since Jan 2021. Throughout this time the car will show the exact problems mentioned in the Maserati Recall 338. The car will shut off while I'm in traffic, or if I'm slowly going through a yield sign the car will unexpectedly shift into neutral. I've tried talking to my local Maserati dealer over the years and all they keep saying is no, you have no open recalls. My car is doing exactly what the recall was for. All I want is a remedy. I'm getting nowhere, they want to charge me $300 to do...

diagnostics. My car was manufactured 9/2016 which is of the same time of the recalled vehicles. " Maserati S.p.A. and MNA have determined that a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety exists in model year 2017 Maserati Levante S vehicles and Levante vehicles. Maserati S.p.A. and MNA have determined that the above described vehicles were manufactured with an engine software issue. Specifically, if the vehicle is being operated at speeds of approximately 2 miles per hour (low engine RPM), which can be encountered during heavy stop and go (bumper to bumper) traffic conditions, the transmission may shift into neutral or possibly have an engine shut down condition, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle crash." This quote is from your own website, yet I can't get any remedies from Maserati. This needs to be known that all affected cars were not recalled. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE IVE OWNED THE CAR. IT STILL HAPPENS TODAY. I've nearly been Tboned in traffic because my car switched to neutral. Help. I feel like this is falling on deaf ears. Several of these cars are now coming up for sale on the used car market and people need to know that these cars are dangerous.
