Overview

2017 Maserati Granturismo

The 2017 Maserati Granturismo is a striking grand tourer that prioritizes style and aural drama over outright practicality. Its naturally aspirated 4.7-liter V8 engine provides a compelling soundtrack, while the rear-wheel-drive chassis delivers engaging dynamics. However, as a used purchase, potential buyers must weigh its exotic appeal against a documented critical safety recall concerning the airbag system. While owner complaints are absent, this recall warrants diligent pre-purchase inspection.

Critical Failure Risk

A defect in the Air Bag Electronic Control Unit (ECU) power supply capacitor can lead to the air bag system deactivating or deploying inadvertently. This is a critical safety concern.

Early detection can help you avoid a $500-$2,000 repair.
