Reported at 4,600 miles, March 2015 CrashInjury

The pirelli p zero 285/35 r20 c100yd DOT xb 6f n662 right rear tire blew out totally. The sidewall separated on the street side of the tire on a smooth highway, traveling about 65 MPH with only 850 miles of wear. The tires handle great but I have never had any tire blow out especially at 850 miles. Seems other makes of p zero tires have been recalled, looks like pirelli has another lemon on its hands. The car is at the dealership now, waiting to see how they handle it.

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.

Purchase this car in december 2015 and only placed 2500 miles on the auto and service attendant said you must drive the car 4000 miles to keep the battery charged. I have only had the auto for 6 months. Spoke to the tow truck driver and this is one of the issues of this vehicle. They are attempting to charge me for a battery in which I have only owned the car for 6 months.

I purchased the 2015 maserati ghibli sq4 nov 2015, and after 2000 miles the car had a problem with the air condition stuck in defrost mode. Took the car to the local dealer for service repair and they found the issue with the air condition solenoid that was replaced. Then I started having too much front windshield defrost and it covers my front view. To reproduce the concern start the car and open up the 4 windows drive up for more than 15 minutes, then stop the car close the windows and turn of the engine.
