Problems:

Oil leaks
Maserati engines, including the M156D, are known for developing oil leaks from the valve covers, oil pan, or other seals as they age.
Cooling system issues
The V-shaped engine configuration can make it challenging to maintain proper cooling, leading to potential overheating problems.
Timing chain problems
The timing chain in some Maserati engines has been known to stretch or fail prematurely, causing significant engine damage if not addressed.
Turbocharger failure
If the Levante has a turbocharged variant of the M156D engine, the turbochargers can sometimes fail, leading to power loss and increased oil consumption.
Spark plug and coil issues
Misfires can occur due to faulty spark plugs or ignition coils, which are common issues in high-performance engines like the Maserati M156D.
Fuel injector problems
Inefficiencies or failures in the fuel injectors can lead to poor engine performance, rough idling, and decreased fuel economy.
Carbon buildup
Direct injection engines, such as the one found in the Maserati Levante, can experience carbon buildup on the intake valves, leading to reduced performance and efficiency.
