NHTSA lists 3 safety recalls and 3 owner complaints for the 2006 Maserati Quattroporte. Most complaints involve power train (2) and steering (2). The EPA rates it 13 mpg combined.
Maserati North America, Inc. (Maserati) is recalling certain model year 2005-2008 Quattroporte, 2008 Granturismo, and 2008 Alfa Romeo 8C vehicles. The rear tie rod assemblies may have insufficient anti-corrosion material applied, allowing them to weaken and possibly fail.
MASERATI IS RECALLING 7,912 MY 2008 GRAN TURISMO, QUATTROPORTE, AND ALFA ROMEO VEHICLES. INCORRECTLY TORQUED UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINT NUTS MAY CAUSE THE BALL JOINT NUTS TO LOOSEN.
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE POWER ASSIST DELIVERED BY THE STEERING RACK MAY NOT BE FULLY AVAILABLE WHILE MAKING EXTREME LEFT HAND TURNS FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME. AN INTERNAL O-RING OF THE STEERING RACK CAN BECOME DISLODGED OR DISLOCATED CAUSING A LOSS OF POWER ASSIST TO THE DRIVER.
Complaints are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and are not normalized for sales volume. One complaint can cite several components.
“2006 MASERATI COUPE PROBLEM WITH THE CLUTCH PUMP. NEED HELP. *TR”
“RIGHT FRONT WHEEL STARTED MAKING CRACKING NOISES WHILE DRIVING AT 35MPH, WHEN SUDDENLY AN EXPLOSION BLEW OUT THE WHEEL FROM THE DRIVING SHAFT MAKING THE CAR UNCONTROLLABLE. AFTER HITTING THE RIGHT MEDIAN OF THE ROAD AND BRINGING THE CAR TO A STOP THE WHOLE WHEEL AND RIM HAD BLOWN OUT. THE REPAIRS COST OVER 45,000 USD AND IF DRIVING FASTER THE ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE BEEN FATAL IF IN THE HIGHWAY. *TR”
