Overview

2014 Maserati Ghibli

The 2014 Maserati Ghibli offers Italian luxury and performance at a price point that can be appealing on the used market. However, its average reliability rating and a history of multiple critical recalls, particularly concerning fuel system integrity and potential unintended acceleration, demand a cautious approach. While owner complaints are notably absent, the recall data points to systemic issues that warrant thorough pre-purchase inspection. Its V6 engine, all-wheel drive, and 8-speed automatic transmission provide a dynamic driving experience, but potential buyers should be prepared for higher running costs and the possibility of significant repairs.

Critical Failure Risk

Recalls indicate potential issues with fuel lines and delivery systems, leading to leaks. This poses a fire risk and requires prompt attention.

Early detection can help you avoid a $500-$1,500 repair.
