MC20 - Anyone else submitted their spec this week?
Discussion
ds !!!Thought I'd post on here for any unsuspecting MC20 owners. 4 weeks ago it was discovered - during a minor recall - that I had a whopping great screw embedded in a tyre. And here we are 4 weeks later with it still at the dealer because they can't get a tyre.
Yes, that joyous position of "we've developed tyres especially for this car with Bridgestone, and in doing so we can guarantee that you'll never be able to get a replacement - so enjoy the 4 you have with the car". Maybe they assume that they're garage queens, but either way I'm delighted to report that Maserati have not changed their spots.
When I got it there was a fault which took it off the road for 5 weeks, so closing in on 10+ weeks of my 34 week ownership experience resulting in it being off the road.
I think now being on my 5th Maserati, this will be the last. The utterly dreadful customer service - dealers try their best - and failure to react in any timely manner just makes it painful to be an owner.
Anyhoo, anyone want to buy a Cielo from me? 1 owner, about 1000 miles - 3 good tyres, 1 not so much. And a paint issue on the drivers door from what appears at this time to be a rubbish factory paint job (which so far they're not wanting to deal with - 2 weeks in on that one).

Sorry to hear about your substandard experience, it's a shame as it's the best looking new car currently being made IMO. Could you not get a set of Michelins or Pirellis in a similar size and keep the 3 Bridgestones as spares and order a 4th when they're available to complete the set?Yes, that joyous position of "we've developed tyres especially for this car with Bridgestone, and in doing so we can guarantee that you'll never be able to get a replacement - so enjoy the 4 you have with the car".
