Source: NHTSA complaints and recalls filed for Maserati Ghibli vehicles (US, public record). Typical used asking price $16,725–$30,599.
Complaint volume by model year. Raw NHTSA totals, not adjusted for sales volume or time on the road, so older and higher-selling years accumulate more. Every year links to its full breakdown.
Highest: 2015 (25 complaints). Lowest: 2018 (1).
Sentiment is sharply polarized and heavily dependent on model year and purchase context.
Extremely expensive dealer service, costly genuine parts (e.g., $1800 for an AC compressor, $1800 for brake parts, $500 per tire). Labor costs are also high.
Cheap interior materials, shared Chrysler parts, panel fit issues, general electronic gremlins, primarily affecting 2014-2016 models.
Catastrophic loss in value, making new purchases financially unsound but creating bargains on the used market.
Problems with the Body Control Module (BCM), infotainment, and AC blower motors, often requiring module resets or updates.
Leather lifting on dashboards, fragile "Zegna" fabric interiors, hard plastics, piano black trim that scratches easily. Perceived as outdated compared to German rivals.
