WHEN I WOULD RAPIDLY ACCELERATE THE GAS PEDAL WOULD STICK, CAR WOULD LURCH FORWARD WHILE CONTINUING TO ACCELERATE. IF I DIDN'T IMMEDIATELY HIT THE BRAKES AND TURN OFF CAR I COULD HAVE EASILY LOST CONTROL WHILE CONTINUING ACCELERATING .

Maserati North America, Inc. (Maserati) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Quattroporte and Ghibli vehicles manufactured February 1, 2013, to November 30, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the driver-side floor mat anchor may break allowing the floor mat to move and get trapped between the accelerator pedal and the vehicle carpet.

Consequence: If the floor mat moves and becomes trapped between the accelerator and the vehicle carpet, it may result in very high vehicle speeds, which could cause a crash, serious injury or death.

Remedy: Maserati will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver-side floor mat and possibly the accelerator pedal cover, free of charge. The recall began April 29, 2016. Owners may contact Maserati customer service at 1-877-696-2737. Maserati's number for this recall is 301. Note: These vehicles are equipped with a brake override system.
