MASERATI GHIBLI

119 NHTSA complaints and 13 safety recalls across model years 2014–2020.

Complaints: 119
Recalls: 13
Model years: 7

The MASERATIGHIBLI appears in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database with 119 consumer safety complaints and 13 recall campaigns across 7 model years (2014–2020). That averages roughly 17 complaints per model year. Report counts can differ between model years for many reasons; this dataset does not establish the cause of a difference.

Complaint volume on a nameplate alone is not a reliability verdict: a long-running bestseller can accumulate more filings than a low-volume niche model because more vehicles are on the road. The table below shows report counts and published NHTSA crash-test ratings side by side for each model year. The filing-year histogram shows the timing of submitted reports, not a causal trend.

NHTSA has 2 investigation files tied to this model. Investigation records, complaint reports, and recall campaigns each provide different context. Use the official NHTSA VIN lookup and the underlying notices to research a specific vehicle; PlainCars does not infer a vehicle-risk or pricing conclusion from these records.

Complaint Filing Trend

NHTSA complaint volume by year filed (not model year).

Filings moved from 72 in 2017-2021 to 25 in 2022-2026, a fall of 65.3%. That is the 31th percentile of change across the 772 nameplates with enough filings in both windows to compare, where 0 is the steepest fall and 100 the steepest rise.

Filing volume, not a reliability verdict: counts also move with how many vehicles are on the road, how old they are, and whether a recall drew attention. Computed from this portal's NHTSA filing-year records over the same two windows the trend rankings use.
