I am getting pretty sick of the nickel and diming from MNA under warranty.
The latest is, I call the dealer to check the car in for a few minor things. I said "can you adjust the e-brake, it isn't holding the car on hills". I am sure they've already done it once previously (need to check my invoices).
Anyway, the (acting) service mgr says "just so you're aware, Maserati considers e-brake adjustment as a maintenance item, not covered under warranty."
So, good that he let me know ahead of time, and certainly one can make the argument it is like some regular maintenance item, but I mean, really, come on now. I've had my handbrake adjusted on my Saabs, my Subarus under warranty with no messing around - this is a $100k car!
If anything has ticked me off with this car, it is all of Maserati's little exceptions to their warranty, far in excess of any other luxury or even mid-level car. I guess part of the ownership experience.
