Fatal crashes in the US
From 2020 to 2023, 28 Ghibli vehicles were involved in crashes on US public roads in which someone died, and 18 people died inside them. These are counts, not crash rates: a model with more cars on the road shows up more often, and people killed outside the vehicle are not counted here.

Real-world fuel consumption
502 Maserati Ghibli cars registered in Europe between 2021 and 2023 report their fuel use through the on-board meter. Petrol hybrid versions average 11.3 l/100 km on the road, against 8.8 l/100 km in the official WLTP test — 29% more.
| Fuel | Cars | On the road | WLTP | Difference |

EU safety alerts
Safety Gate, the European Union's rapid alert system, names the Ghibli in 8 alerts. European versions can differ from the North American car.
Fuel may leak from the pressure and temperature sensor built into the fuel line. Leaking fuel could lead to the loss of power and to an increased risk of fire. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of Motor Veh…
The pressure and temperature sensor built into the fuel line may be leaky, with the result that fuel leakage may occur. This can cause a loss of power and could increase the risk of fire. The product does not comply with the requirements laid down in the Regul…
The welding on the front axle frame could be defective. This could cause a loss of driving stability.
The seat cabling of the driver's seat may be incorrectly installed. This can cause the seat cabling to rub against metal points of the seat and/or against the seat frame unit. Over time this could lead to an electrical short circuit which could cause a fire.
A wrong rear differential has been fitted into the cars and might break which can result in loss of control over the vehicle.
The front right and/or left wheel bearings may have insufficient hardness, resulting in their premature failure. Wheel bearing failure may adversely affect vehicle handling.
Nonconformity of the retaining screws of the rear track rods can lead to loss of control of the vehicle.
The driver's side floor mat can move out of place and cause the accelerator pedal to become trapped.
