Maserati engines, including those in the Ghibli, are known to occasionally develop oil leaks, which can lead to decreased engine performance and potential damage if not addressed.

Some Maserati models have experienced timing chain tensioner failures, which can cause rattling noises and, if ignored, severe engine damage.

Misfires and rough idling can occur due to faulty spark plugs or ignition coils, which are common issues in high-performance engines like the Maserati Ghibli's.

High-performance engines often generate more heat, and issues with the cooling system, such as radiator leaks or thermostat failures, can lead to overheating.

Modern Maserati models, including the Ghibli, are equipped with numerous sensors and electronic components that can sometimes fail, leading to engine warning lights and performance issues.

The twin-turbocharged engine in the Ghibli can experience turbo lag or failure, which affects performance and requires costly repairs.

Clogged fuel injectors or fuel pump failures can lead to poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency, common in high-performance vehicles like the Ghibli.

While DBS is generally reliable, issues can arise if the system's sensors become dirty or damaged, potentially leading to a failure in the automatic braking assistance.

Maserati engines, especially high-performance ones, are prone to overheating if not maintained properly. This can be due to coolant leaks, malfunctioning thermostats, or failing water pumps.

The 4-cylinder Maserati engines often utilize turbochargers to enhance performance. Turbocharger failures can occur due to oil contamination, lack of lubrication, or excessive wear.

Modern Maserati vehicles, including the Grecale, are equipped with complex electrical systems. Faults can occur in the wiring harness, sensors, or control modules, leading to various engine performance problems.

Issues such as clogged fuel injectors, failing fuel pumps, or dirty fuel filters can affect the engine's performance and efficiency.

Direct fuel injection engines are susceptible to carbon build-up on intake valves, which can lead to rough idling, misfires, and reduced performance.

In some Maserati engines, the timing chain tensioner can fail prematurely, which can lead to timing chain issues and engine damage if not addressed promptly.
