has anybody here had any problems with their window switches, i have already had one replaced, and now the other one is loose as well. I have only had my car for 3 months, should I start getting used to little stuff like this happen. Is this just part of owning a hand built Italian car. Oh, it is a 2006 gransport.

hmmm...

well that sucks.

i got a squeaky instrument cluster above the steering wheel....
the dealer says they make an "anti-squeak kit" hmmmm... o.k.

900 miles on my "squeaky" 06 QP sport GT.
it could be worse you could be driving a yugo.

 

[haha]

yea...more or less along that line. however you should take it to the dealer. aren't you glad that nothing is glued in these babies?

The "chrome" rings around the air vents are flaking... they sure use plastic in some odd places for a "six figure" car.

on the other hand Maserati NA just sent me a survey card for my last service so I got to sing the praises of FMSF and vilify FMSV - made my day.

early japan!

i remember little tin cars, they used beer cans, well that's what every one in Detroit claimed. has maserati started using/falling back, surely not. how disturbing to hear comments that appear, about quality of a $100,000.00 car! maybe i/all of us need to print out all these zero's more often, does this make a greater mental impression! how serious does maserati look at poor work/engr. are the mfg. paying attention!

There is an anti-squeak kit for the QP's dash cluster. We've done a couple of them so far, and it takes care of it. I think it involves some bushings in the mounting hardware of the cluster. Either way, its a pretty quick fix, and once its done you shouldn't have the squeak anymore.

Bundas;

Keep in mind, Maserati sells < 4000 cars a year, even at 100,000$ thats 400,000,000$. BMW sells over 1,000,000 cars a year, say a $40,000 average, 40,000,000,000$. There has to be some more R&D \ prototyping \ testing money in there somewhere... At leats its a squeak and not iDrive and I'll leave their "style" alone.

And yes, they are definitely paying attention.
