Maserati Quattroporte problems
The Maserati Quattroporte (Italian pronunciation: ) is a four-door luxury sports sedan produced by Italian automobile manufacturer Maserati. The name translated from Italian means "four doors". The car is in its sixth generation, with the first generation introduced in 1963.
Quattroporte I (AM107, 1963–1969)
The original Maserati Quattroporte (Tipo AM107) was built between 1963 and 1969. It was a large saloon powered by V8 engines—both firsts for a series production Maserati automobile.
History
The task of styling the Quattroporte was given to Turinese coachbuilder Pietro Frua, who drew inspiration from a special 5000 GT (chassis number 103.060) which he had designed in 1962 for Prince Karim Aga Khan. While the design was by Frua, body construction was carried out by Vignale.

Vehicle year: 2011
Wow, this car is really impressive, even for a suburban mom like me. I was pleasantly surprised to receive compliments from every male between 12-60 years old while driving this 'sedan'. The interior is super comfortable and spacious, with a cool analog clock in the dash that adds to the stylish feel of the car. With just a light push of the gas pedal, I was able to beat every souped-up Honda off the line, which was a lot of fun. The only downside is that the trunk space seems a bit limited, and the portholes on the side make it look a bit like a Buick, according to my mom. However, the gas mileage is pretty good, with 12+ mpg in regular mode and 9 mpg in sport mode. My kids love the ability to control the passenger seat from the rear center console, which they've nicknamed the 'chauffeur button'.

Vehicle year: 2008
This Italian creation is a true embodiment of style, which is highly valued by the Italians. The car is admired by people of all ages and economic backgrounds. This is actually my second Quattroporte; the first one ('84) was my daily driver for 8 years. The build quality of this car has improved beyond belief. I drive it hard and enjoy it the way it was intended to be enjoyed. So far, I have not encountered any problems. The performance is simply amazing. Once you get a sense of where the limits are, you can truly experience the thrill of a sports car in the morning and enjoy the luxury as you and your friends arrive at your favorite 5-star restaurant in the evening. The controls are easy to use and well positioned. However, it's worth noting that the transmission is a standard when driving on hills.

Vehicle year: 2009
You're in for a treat with this car! As someone who has owned many cars, I can confidently say that this is one of the most exciting vehicles I've ever driven. It's like a four-door Ferrari, with power, melody, practicability, and comfort all rolled into one. The car has been lovingly cared for, only driven once a week for leisure, and kept safely in the garage for the most part. Maintenance has been a breeze, with only regular oil changes every 3000 miles and semi-annual tune-ups needed. I do have one small complaint, which is that the gas and brake pedals are a bit too close together, but that's a minor issue. Overall, this is a fantastic vehicle that still runs strong!

Let's compare the Maserati QP GTS and the Jaguar XJL. The Maserati is a fast and responsive car with a deep low growl exhaust note that is sure to turn heads. However, the Jaguar XJL, which is half the price, offers more comfort, space, and advanced technology. It is also stylish and a real head-turner. If you're looking for style, comfort, and pizzazz, the XJL is the way to go. On the other hand, if you want pure driving fun, exhilaration, and bragging rights, the QP GTS is the perfect choice.
Are you having problems with your Maserati Quattroporte?

This car has a great appearance, but unfortunately it has not been very reliable. I have had to spend $13,760 on repairs and it has only done 23K miles. This is not what I expected from a car that cost $140K when new. I have decided to take it to auction next week to sell it before it costs me any more money. However, if you are looking for a car that looks great in your driveway, this could be the one for you. Just be aware that it may not be suitable for driving long distances.
Lewis Davis 2025-02-27
Vehicle year: 2009
Hi there! I recently purchased a car with 38k miles and have put on an additional 7k miles since then. The car's history showed regular service, with the most recent one being at a Ferrari dealer at 36k miles. Unfortunately, I have had to replace a few parts since purchasing it, including a shift actuator, f1 pump, and driver side door handle. The window wash sprayers are not working, possibly due to a broken switch inside the steering wheel. Additionally, the massage seat on the driver's side has not worked since I bought the car. Recently, I noticed some air in the back window and it wouldn't roll up, so it seems like the back window regulator needs to be replaced. Lastly, the clutch needs to be replaced and the car's acceleration has been a bit rough, even when using the manual and sport mode properly. Oh, and the interior in the rear is falling apart. Despite these issues, I still enjoy driving the car and am looking forward to fixing it up. Thanks for listening!

I'm having a really tough time figuring out why my $113k car is worse than my '92 Chevy Cavalier. This car has been in the shop more times than I can count. It has had too many problems for a luxury car, including computer sensor and transmission failures, alarm malfunctions, clutch and battery issues, and engine failure system problems, just to name a few. I will never buy another one.

I may be the only person in the US to own two Maserati Quattroportes. Unfortunately, my first one had multiple problems that included sensors, transmission, and finally the main computer, all within the first three months of ownership. However, the dealer was incredibly helpful and bent over backward to assist me. Maserati of NA even gave me a new car, and although I had to have the transmission re-built (clutch and throw-out bearing), the dealer did it for free due to the low mileage. It's important to note that the clutch is a wear item and costs $2500 to replace, but the service manager assured me that it's good for 20k miles. Just be aware of this when considering a Maserati purchase.
Spencer Considine 2024-11-22
Vehicle year: 2006
I have owned two Quattroportes, and unfortunately, my first one had several issues with its computer, sensor, and transmission. However, I must say that the dealership and support team have been exceptional in their efforts to make things right. My second Quattroporte is currently undergoing transmission re-building, but it is still a beautiful car and a joy to drive. It is a shame that Maserati's goal of an entry-level exotic is not being met due to quality control issues in a 100k car. I hope that Maserati will take the necessary steps to rectify this situation and make me a happy customer. At the moment, it falls short of being a prime time player.
