RECALL ALERT: All-New Car, SAME Old Problems? Maserati Quattroporte Owners You'll Want To READ THIS

I have long been a Maserati fan, but their "reliability" has always been a reason to pass on the brand for me.

every automakers have recalls
check how many porsche, jaguar, bmw, mercedes, had recalls in the past

My father in law had the old Qporte and was first in line for a new Ghibli. Maserati makes great cars, but they will need constant repairs for something. The Ghibli should be a little better given what it is under it all.

Range Rover is considered to be the most unreliable junk in the entire world, but the rich people are not complaining. Why? Because it's a British brand, British SUV, European luxury automaker. Something that the rich people just love to worship.

And it devours gas like it's nothing, and yet, for some reason, Hummer did not sell well, but this British junk survived.

Why? Because the rich do not really care about the American brands.


And now this bland Italian brand, that has such a mediocre design language, called Maserati, is for some reason, loved by many rich people.

It doesn't really matter if it is unreliable, though. I mean, do you think the rich care?

They worship the European brands, and mock the American brands in general. I am assuming many people who buy Maserati would not really care about its reliability? Even if they did, most likely only a few.

@JDMUS

You are easily one of the most uninformed and loud-mouth commenters to come through here in some time.

As @MattDarringer notes below, Land Rover's reliability has improved A LOT alongside with its sister company, Jaguar. This isn't the 1990s anymore.

And, yes, people do care when they're spending $100k plus for an all-new vehicle. Why else do you think the Porsche Panamera has sold well? It's not because it's beautiful. It's because it delivers the FULL package AND is reliable.

Unfortunately, you are one of the most generic consumers that exist in our society today. You are not really anything new to the table, and the people like you are everything that is linked to the issues of America today as well.

Have you ever done any kind of research on those unreliable vehicles before? In Australia, a BMW 7 series owner spent at least over 100k for "repairing" his car. This was the last gen model of 7 series, and even though they know it is dead unreliable, even though they may complain, they still would keep owning one, and buying one, all for the sake of the badge. Do you "seriously" think reliability actually "matters" to those who are rich? Maybe to some, but not to the majority of them.

And it doesn't really matter if Land Rover's quality has gone up or not "recently". Let's see, do you think the rich people have RECENTLY started purchasing Range Rovers? Nope, they have been buying those even when RR was known as some of the most unreliable junk in the world.

No offense, but you really should start doing some more research before posting not-so-intelligent comments here.

Land Rover has actually improved its quality/reliability a LOT.

As for the Qporte it is quite disturbing because it indicates Fiat's inability to deliver a car done right. We have the Qporte doing its impression of a barbecue and the Cherokee not realizing it has 9 speeds, to the agricultural engine choices in the Dart. Too bad Hyundai didn't buy Chrysler.

The Ghibli will be the real test because the Ghibli is essentially the next gen Chrysler 300 platform which will be heavily derived from the current one with the addition of more high strength steel, some aluminum, and a new front suspension design. This is essentially how Ford transformed the platform of the 05 Mustang into the 15. The PR people will say "all new" but the reality is more of a significant evolution. With any luck the wiring will be borrowed from Chrysler 300 which does not feel the need to incinerate its occupants.

i dont care how rich or poor you are, whether you have a maserati or toyota, you do not want to deal with any problems or recalls. if anything the more you spend ( maserati) the less you want to be bothered with repairs.
you get what you pay for type quality is what you want. maserati has beautiful cars but if they think the ghibili will outsell the bmw 5 and mercedes E they need to step up their quality..

I had a Maserati BiTurbo. After TWO engine rebuilds due to plugged oil returns and a seized water pump, both snapping the timing belt, it was time to say goodbye to this brand. That's WHEN it started at all. That Maserati had a fuel heat soak issue. Crank it when cold and you're fine. Crank it 3 min after you shut it off and you're still fine. Crank it after 3min or before about an hour and you'll run down the battery on painfully long cranks trying to prime the fuel again. It was a bastardized car to say the least. Maybe they got better but after these disasters, BMW got my money and I've never looked back.
