This page covers 9 recalls and 19 owner complaints for the 2014 Maserati Ghibli.
Complaints on the 2014 Maserati Ghibli spread across three systems in roughly equal measure: suspension, electrical, and vehicle speed control each draw the same number of reports. On the suspension side, owners describe a cracked strut tower that appeared without any prior accident or obvious road trauma, with no warning light to flag it beforehand. Electrical complaints center on no-start situations traced to a failed main control module, in at least one case linked to an internal leak. In the vehicle speed control category, owners report unintended acceleration where the throttle appeared to stick and the car surged without driver input. A separate pattern involves recurring low oil pressure warnings appearing across multiple owners, pointing to an engine monitoring issue worth checking before purchase.

By System
The 2014 Maserati Ghibli has 9 recalls, the most serious involving the driver-side floor mat anchor, which can break and allow the mat to slide forward and trap the accelerator pedal, making the vehicle difficult to slow or stop.
Two separate recalls cover fuel system fire risks: fuel delivery hoses on certain vehicles may have been improperly crimped or damaged during production, either of which can cause a fuel leak that could ignite near a heat source. The front seat wiring harness can also chafe when the power seat is adjusted, creating an electrical short that raises the risk of fire.
On the chassis side, a rear tie-rod bolt may not have been tightened to spec during assembly. If it loosens and the tie-rod separates from the hub carrier, the driver can lose steering control. There is also a transmission safety concern shared across two recalls: the gear position indicator may not clearly communicate that the car is not in Park, and a driver who exits the vehicle with the engine running and the transmission in gear risks being struck by the moving car.
