Seems like owning a Maserati outside of warranty is financial suicide lol

I’d love to see a long term owner’s video whose Ghibli has been a good car.

That keyfob was designed to get you to the dealership so they can recommend additional “necessary parts” and probably a wheel balance to you.

[@Isalei84]

2018+ model is a huge improvement in overall quality and reliability, and this is a fact confirmed by all the expert reviews. And the exterior design charm and engine sound are still unique. It's funny how all the haters and envious people commenting on blogs and youtube disappear in real life when you actually meet people. All it gets is just compliments.

[@miamimcintosh]

Whew! you are a brave man for owning that car!

You mean Chrysler Ghibli

[@CgBrian]

HKMediaChicago - why would you make up such a random statement with no truth to it? Ed Ward - not to be rude but you are rather incorrect.. it’s a Mercedes lX platform that the 300 was supposed to possibly share the center of .. only what is referred to as the middle portion of the platform is shared whilst being engineered new otherwise. The entire suspension and drivetrain including all wheel drive system is all Maserati.. There is nothing Mercedes about the chassis used by the Ghibli. There are also no chassis parts sharing between the Ghibli with any Chrysler product. It’s designed by Centro Stile Maserati under Marco Tencone.. Interior design by Giovanni Ribotta, the Italian chief exterior designer at Maserati. Carlo Potzianti is the chief engineer for the vehicle and has no affiliation with Chrysler except for them being the parent of Maserati and many other brands. The engine block is made in America-developed by Maserati, reportedly from the Pentastar V6 (but now unrecognizeable as such), and built at the Maranello Ferrari plant. It was completely designed and engineered by Maserati as well. Harold Westor has stated that “aside from Electronics there is nearly nothing from Chrysler in the new ghibli and Quattro models” I think you are confusing a company being parented by FCA and thinking that means the companies it owns all share the same engineers. They do not. Yes they absolutely share some basic parts across the board but what you are saying is the equivalent of calling a Lamborghini Volkswagen engineering which is a complete stretch. In reality though a Lamborghini does share a ton of literal audi components.. to say it’s engineered by them is silly. Also you are confusing the shared platform Diesel engine with the actual ghibli engine.. yes the diesel one is a shared platform but I’m pretty sure we weren’t talking about that engine.

@Ed Ward - What parts of this car are engineered by Chrysler? Please explain further

[@CgBrian]

Ed Ward - what is the source of this information? There is quite a bit of false information on forums

[@joshuarobinson5455]

@@CgBrian you can kinda put two and two together just compare the infotainment system to any Chrysler product they all look the same just have their own logos on the screens. So if fiat owns Chrysler they most likely do the same thing as every other auto maker and that is sharing parts. It's way cheaper to just share parts then to design something different for every brand that's under the fiat brand etc. Some forums do have false info but in this case the other commenter is most likely right

This is nowhere near falling apart, it's just normal wear & tear... clickbait exaggeration lvl99. Can't believe I just watched a 17 minutes video about changing a key fob battery...

Such an informative video love this guys channel I’ve been researching what car fits my lifestyle & work. Looking to pickup one of these and hopefully keeping it for a few years as a daily driver.

[@RonsRides]

Glad you're enjoying the content! Anyway I can help I'll do my best to. Thanks for tuning in!

[@ronpruitt5312]

May have added this very vehicle to my stable. Picked it up in Coral Gables for about 32k. So far so good. Replaced the Pirellis with Bridgestone Potenzas. Added the 2 yr extended Maserati dealer. warranty. Blacked out the tail lights and removed all badging off rear end except Mazerati.

[@bigmountain7561]

My Tire Pressure Sensor on my Giulia Ti Sport is very sensitive. Even after we updated the ECU. It’s still an awesome car. It’s probably those Pirelli’s, I am a Michelin Man myself, that’s what I have on the Daytona!!!

[@RonsRides]

A lot of folks have told me the Michelin's are much 'better' tires. Not sure if thats preference or not but I'm not opposed to trying them.

Ron did you do anything to the exhaust? Sounds pretty loud

[@briany1957]

That is the most difficult Key Fob to change the battery... I currently have a new SQ4 with less than 1,000 miles and a Ferrari in my garage for Italian cars. Italian cars are completely different from other manufacturers. You have to be patient. Strange things happen... I like driving my Ghibli as a daily driver. Compare to what I experienced with older QP and Spyder, it is a nice ride that gives me a big smile. Let's see how it goes as I put some more miles....

[@JoeyWtff]

How did it go

Oil level was good, he said the sensor may be going bad but he topped off the oil just because, Tech also said im good still until I come in for my annual service

[@kengoodwin8061]

I like the way you mixed in the music at a low level. It gave ambience without overpowering the info of the vid. Good luck with the car.

[@Theriony451]

Great video on how to change the key fob... at the dealership! But, that's the new way: Even for change a simple battery you need to go to the dealer! About your issues, please don't say the car is falling apart because stupid people will use that to diminish the brand. The car have issues, ok, "Italian car" issues -:), it's normal because all the rest that matters in a car work fine and main components the engine, power train, suspension, all mechanicals work without issue. Man, it's a 3 year car!! It's a almost-new car in "my town". But beware with all the modern cars, I don't know how that will be while ageing.

[@RonsRides]

Yeah you're right, Italian quirks. I'll probably post a video of all of those issues ive had with my car since everyone always asked. I still love it though, I just like to keep people posted about it, I am super thankful that my engine and trans are champs but what else do you expect from these cars =)

[@dinopappous6639]

Believe me...German cars have just as many, if not more "quirks".....

[@mrcuboid]

Dino Pappous my 3 (coming up to 4) year old E350 has none of the creaks, rattles and poor build quality

Man I own a 2016 what is with all the bullshit?I don't see a Ferrari or Lambo on here with the bad shit It's Italian you think Ferrari or Lamborghini is any different than Maserati sorry it's not.Wake up if you can't pay don't drive buy a Toyota and shut the hell up.

[@dimimurati7211]

Thank you for your videos. I was going to get one Maserati ghibli i test drove it but after seen your videos and now this one to made me change my mind to stick better with the German Cars i have never had problems. Your Maserati has 23k miles and so much problems you don’t expect from exotic car es ist a shame of Maserati

[@kamransyed15]

dimi Murati nice you saved yourself. Don’t get me wrong. It is a fun car to drive. I have the same issues overall. The car runs good though. Then again they are expensive to maintain. Will i get another one, Maybe not. You cannot beat the drive compare to German cars. It’s a life experience and a expensive one. Haha

[@RonsRides]

Im gonna agree with Kamransyed15, I love my car but they are/will be expensive to maintain because its a Maserati. That just comes with the territory. I had a new BMW 535i but i didnt enjoy driving, it as much as my Masi. Sound, look, exclusivity, prestige. I just wanted something more out of my automobile.

[@dimimurati7211]

kamransyed15 i agree with u it sounds good and drives good but i have seen that this cars have to much issues that i dont see it with other cars and its not about how expensive is to maintain its about the time that u lose and nerves that u have to go everytime to the dealer like rons said not even 75 days that he had oil change. Im very disappointed with Maserati i am fan of Maserati.

[@richardbutton1261]

Michellin Pilots are great tires Or Uniroyal Tiger Paws I would go with filling them with Nitrogen as well

[@RonsRides]

Good ideal on the nitro. Its not costly at all and makes sense.

[@kamransyed15]

I have the same issues overall also. I also had the black lip done in the front. I copied ! Haha... I see many of your videos. I thought you had the chrome blacked out! My is a 2017.

[@RonsRides]

Nope never did the chrome! And copy all you want lol. Glad we can relate and learn from each other. How many miles on your 2017?

[@Xeross25]

I hope when I get my 2018 it won’t have these kinds of problems

[@RonsRides]

The Ghibli has been more and more refined as the years go on. I rarely ever see any newer Ghibli's in the shop.

[@hiszpan25]

since when "oil level low" = "time to change oil"? I guess engine is consuming oil and this is causing sometimes "low oil level" warning lihght or oil level sensor is giving false reading... Oil level is not same as reminder to change...

[@jasonjamesbradshaw]

I have a 2016 Ghibli and just had to change both my key fob batteries this week too! now my bluetooth has stopped working on the media centre,, if I press the 'bluetooth/add new phone' Botton it just doesn't do anything, like the bluetooth page doesn't exist anymore!.. any ideas anybody?

[@jasonjamesbradshaw]

really helpful, well done@Jack Smith

[@lirumlarum8361]

None of theses issues should happen on a 2-3 year old car. What happens when it gets older? 7 or so years? These minor issues seem to be an indicator of the overall quality. This is so sad, because the Ghibli would be my first choice if the quality would not be so low. Why doesnt Maserati understand that this is one of the main reasons people dont pic this car? No wonder they depreciate like hell. Not many people take the risk of owning a car with unpredictable reliability.

[@bigmacdaddy1234]

But if these are the only issues that are happening then it might not be so bad after all.

[@lirumlarum8361]

Yeah, but what if not? You cant sell the car like any other bmw or Merc if you feel you have to get rid of it... If you sell it, you will experience the loss of most of its original msrp. So better keep it, but then you mightnhave to live with an unreliable car... btw - the Ghiblis seem to have issues with the programming of the gearbox. The ZF is usually the best in class, but only on the Ghiblis people report to have issues... looks to me as if the programming is not state of the art eather... And also what a lot of people are reporting is that the car somehow doesnt feel tight... Also a sign that something just doesnt seem to be right... keep in mind - the ghibli is just a few years old... it should feel,like a new car!

[@CgBrian]

Many people have this car.. older and more mileage than him.. including myself.. with non of his issues at all

[@aaronhussain3873]

Nice video! Interesting to see the insides of a key fob. I do have a couple of questions though: if the battery was to die completely, can you start up the car by using that mechanical key? Secondly, I don’t normally like to give out criticism to people, but surely a quick check of the oil dipstick would’ve saved you all that time?

[@RonsRides]

You can still start and enter the car if it died completely. Using the physical key to get in ans the rf transmitter being inside of the car would be in range to be able to communicate with the vehicle. As far as the oil pressure, I thought of that but even after seeing it was okay I still needed Maserati to diagnose and clear the code while noting that the sensor may be going bad. So I just let them take care of the whole process and put it on their records.

[@aaronhussain3873]

Ah right, best to have a piece of mind in that sense.

[@carsonhanggi9749]

My 2006 Quattroporte only has 20k miles on it and has no problems. I'm thinking about putting a different exhaust on it.

[@RonsRides]

Damn thats incredible. Those QP's have an F1 exhaust right? Heard they were tough to drive. Thoughts? That exhaust may sound pretty incredible.

[@carsonhanggi9749]

Rons Rides I believe it is the F1 exhaust. It’s the perfect balance between quiet and loud, and it’s got the low end growl at idle. The car takes some getting used to with the transmission being an early Ferrari single clutch, but I like it because it feels mechanical and it feels like something is happening when you shift. It’s my favorite car to drive in the weekends. An amazing GT car. I’d like to drive one of the newer Quattroporte GTS’s or a new GT MC and see how they compare.

[@lirumlarum8361]

I have seen so many people complaining about severe quality issues in the internet, that the overall picture of this brand is somewhat like highly emotional but crappy... The thing is that when you buy a mercedes or bmw you would not expect something to happen, but with the Ghibli you do expect it, which makes you loose faith in the car. I dont care about how it corners around curves, or how fast it is, but I do care about reliability. I hate it when something rattles, and what I hate most is that feeling of lost faith... You start the car and wonder if its going to break down...

Outside of maintenance, I've had 2 problems in 30 years: a speedo cable, and an alternator. And that's on cars aged 4-14 years. I'd have to keep a Toyota as backup, anyway, if a Euro joined the stable.

[@joneandi37]

[@armankhazraee]

My front left wheel skirt turned the same way. Can I bring it in to fix it?

[@RonsRides]

Call your service adivisor and Im sure they will take care of you.

[@blueshattrick]

1. Swap out battery in fob 2. top off engine oil - Invoice: $739

[@TheQWER9]

Ordered wheel well + fixed the one that was falling off

[@massimobernardo-]

I would also like my car "to fall apart" like this Ghibli. 😎

[@RonsRides]

LOL

[@brentbutner1208]

Title of this video should be “first world problems”. Lol

[@THEREALBRISTOL]

Sounds like this car will leave u broke, I was interested but never mind.

[@imnuktam872]

WTF is with the amount of effort required to change that battery lol. Worries me seeing that as to how many other things are made overly difficult on car so I would be forced to pay a lot to have them do it. I wondered why these cars had fallen into the 30k or so price range as the other AWD Sedans like audis S4 I have been looking at. Looks and sounds so sexy, but I really don't want something with a headache.

[@CgBrian]

Drop in value is based on 3 major things.. I'll touch on Two.. 1-once the warranty ends on these cars the cost of anything that may go wrong is rather substantial. 2-The maintence costs.. aka cost of ownership vs the cost of purchase, which for this particular car if you want dealer service , OEM equipment, etc.. Is also much higher

[@imnuktam872]

Maintenance costs definitely, especially as like this video there seemed to be a lot of things made overly difficult for no logical reason other than to discourage doing it yourself. And a lot of little things going wrong for most owners. I would say another reason is the fact that they saved money on the build by partnering with Chrysler for some of it, and many didn't like that. For me it just really felt like they didn't pay attention to detail as much as the should. Not being able to easily change a key fob battery or put a cd in while in park etc made me nervous how many other things were similar and made me pass on getting one. That and the extra 140 a month in insurance it would have cost over the s4 I went with.

[@CgBrian]

LeVelle Coley lmao so little of this car shares any Chrysler parts.. a Lamborghini shares wayyyyy more direct Audi parts than this does with chrsysler

[@CgBrian]

LeVelle Coley and FYI... none of the materials used in this cars interior from zegna to poltrona Frau are available in a dodge lol.. get real.. yea it shares the same leathers as Ferrari if that’s what u meant

[@CgBrian]

LeVelle Coley VW group owns Lamborghini.. what’s ur point.. FCA owns a number of companies.. the 3 cheap parts u just named.. the same as Doug Demuro jus shows ur lack of knowledge

[@rjb7026]

These cars were not designed for backyard mechanics to play with. If you can't afford to have the car serviced by the dearler as needed you better off sticking to Toyotas.

[@DaddyoftheMack]

It was odd that your speedometer was in Km/h but your actual miles was in miles.

[@RonsRides]

I think I changed it to km/h on accident.

[@DaddyoftheMack]

@@RonsRides cool. I just figured they'd coincide with each other, not independently

[@robertrydlewski9538]

I was thinking of purchasing this car. However, after seeing how many issues you. and other guys have with it. I think I'll pass

[@JohnSmith-ru7fm]

Change the oil

[@wildekroko]

Way to much drama with this car. Beautiful car tho

[@CgBrian]

wilsmits66 - there is only as much drama as the few loudmouths on KZbin have made.. other than that the car is great

[@wildekroko]

@Sir Tristan lol

[@robynsjp]

You drive a great brand, as for the car, it does not even match a 5 series BMW ! Same as Maserati Biturbo decades ago. Worth zero $ second hand. Speed of depreciation is probably higher than car speed 😃😃😃

[@shervinbayat671]

Who wants a bmw that all the front grille and whole body style look exactly the same lol. 5 series are the ugliest ones and also why would you want to be like everyone else like Beamer or Benz everyone drives them. Be normal if you want to that’s on you.

[@wlsharepoint]

Maserati employee shitting on their cars 😂

[@clashingwithdon]

Leaving a nail in your tire is incredibly halfwitted. Takes about twenty minutes and a $8 plug kit to fix it the right way before you get new tires. If you can’t do that, you shouldn’t be driving a car in the first place.

[@dernawey]

Why Maserati has such a shitty reputation.

[@damirosmanovic3892]

Omg his key battery is low this guy is something. Can someone tell him to go buy Kia lol.
