Fiat Chrysler Automobiles’ gear selector woes have extended to Maserati, with 13,092 units of the 2014 Quattroporte and Ghibli collectively being recalled to rectify the issue of the confusing gear shifter. The campaign covers models with production dates between June 1, 2013, and February 28, 2014, according to the United States’ NHTSA.
The issue has been attributed to the monostable gear lever design – one which returns to the same position after a gear has been selected – which may not make it clear to the driver whether or not the transmission has been put into “Park” before the driver alights from the vehicle.
Maserati will install software to fix this problem, though it says that the new software code is not ready yet. Owners in the US will receive notification regarding this issue by mail on July 1, and later a subsequent letter to schedule the correction.
This appears identical to the issue that led to the recall of 1.1 million FCA vehicles in the United States in April this year. So far 41 cases of injury were recorded, which may be related to the vehicle moving after the driver had inadvertently left the selector in “Drive,” and exited the vehicle, according to the NHTSA.

Wow, such precautionary measures. what about our Myvi? Drivers are still driving the car at night without their lights on cause they think the headlights are on because the dashboard is all lighted up.
So many people kena langgar from dark coloured Myvis driven in the night without lights on.
German guy voiced out this problem to Perodua but Perodua said the Mat Salleh was malicious and wanted to cause problems for the company.
I had a few close encounters with Myvis and Altis not turning on their headlights during night times. If you are following one from behind, it is still not as dangerous because you can still see the car through its rear reflectors. The real danger is when you are on one lane road and you want to overtake a car. Suddenly, a Myvi without its headlights on is heading towards you while you are on the opposite lane. Funny thing, how come these drivers not notice their headlights are not on when their surrounding areas are pitch black and without road lights.
So crowded in Maserati space. No place to bark right?
Ioma please answer this question!!!!!
Waiting for p2 macai to reply to this
P2 and toyota macais hide in cave peeing in pants
I have been the followerbof PT blog for more than a year, it gives good info on car news. The sick kunta , samy fellows just came in repeatedly talking rubbish non stop here and pt allowed it, what a shame. These people may not be malaysian but come here to stir thing
Foreign overlords recall is gud.
P1 recall mesti kena bash.
Proton global sales figure for the first 6 months roughly about 30k, hahahaha
Lol again basher tried to say that if sales number is good that means the car is good.
Puuuiiiiii
Did i say the car is good? No. I’m only stating the sales figure of P1 and stupid supporter like you said it
Puuuiiiiiiiiiiii
Nobody said you said it. He said you tried to say. That’s different. Stating figure is lame comment without any meaning
Fact nick but posted rubbish comments, go and create your own blog, dun create stir here
What are you trying to say? Is it
If Sales number is not good that means the car is not good.
Malaysians like to ampu the white man. Our Perdana is better than this Italian junk!
the same error that killed Anton Yelchin. RIP
Isn’t it simple to check the gear indicator whether you are in Park before stepping out of the car? I thought it was the first thing they taught at driving academy to always confirm gear position when driving an automatic vehicle. Although the gear shifter may be at fault too for being unconventional to operate, but those drivers need to be blamed too for lacking common sense.
They oso teach new learners to signal and use mirrors before changing lanes, but do MY pipu use it? NO!
At this rate, old Civic EGs, Corolla SEGs and even old Proton Sagas are the cars to buy from car yards.
thats the problem with new cars…all too digital feel….no physical clink feeling
Yet you still cannot afford it
Dumb Americans
Why every comment section on this car info side is turned into P2 and Toyota bashing rings? Then some will counter with bad comments about P1.
Almost every new car comes with illuminated dashboard, including the nice TFT screen in Audis. So I agree that initial German’s reaction to Myvi was basically he did not expect a mass produced everybody can own 3rd world produced vehicle such as Myvi would have an illuminated dashboard. There is always a headlight on indicator light to inform the driver whether the light is on. And new cars have auto headlights too. Same for parking indicator. Drivers should confirm that it is shifted to park, and also apply the handbrake or electronic parking brake and switching off engine for those with keyless start, before exiting the vehicle. All everyday practice. Only when vehicles have fanciful gear shifts such as rotary dial instead of the usual gear stalk it might become troublesome.
AFAIK, myvi 1st gen dun have headlamp ON indicator and even if got, most Sam Loos and Alberts dun take the effort to teach their customers about this feature, and oso how many owners actually read the manual?
More into p1 bashing actually and turns down this site goodness
You must be new here
Because most commenters are Malaysian and those carmakers are the most substantial brand in the country.
People like john likes to stir things up just bcoz he is hateful of a certain brand and all the other supporters follow him
