2020 FERRARI ROMA

Typical onset: 15,000-35,000 mi

Symptoms: Metallic knocking or ticking from lower engine especially when cold, Oil pressure warning light or fluctuating pressure gauge, Metal debris visible in oil during changes, Catastrophic failure with sudden loss of power and severe knocking

Fix: Main bearing failure typically cascades into crankshaft and connecting rod damage. Requires complete engine-out teardown. Many cases need full short block replacement or complete rebuild including crankshaft machining, all bearings, pistons, and rings. Engine removal 18-22 hours, rebuild or replacement 35-50 hours total depending on damage extent.

Estimated cost: $45,000-85,000

Typical onset: 8,000-25,000 mi

Symptoms: Transmission overheat warnings on dash during spirited driving, Harsh or delayed shifts especially when hot, Burning smell from transmission tunnel area, Limp mode activation after sustained acceleration

Fix: Factory oil cooler is undersized for real-world performance use. Cooler itself fails internally or lines develop leaks. Requires transmission drop or partial removal for access, replacement of cooler assembly and lines. Some shops recommend upgraded aftermarket cooler during repair. 12-16 hours labor.

Estimated cost: $6,500-9,500

Typical onset: 12,000-40,000 mi

Symptoms: Random harsh shifts or shift flare between gears, Transmission fault codes and warning lights, Delayed engagement from Park or Reverse, Occasionally stuck in single gear requiring restart

Fix: Electronic solenoid pack controls clutch actuation and gear selection. Failure often traced to heat damage from inadequate cooling. Transmission must be partially lowered for mechatronic unit access. Solenoid pack replacement with software update. 8-12 hours labor.

Estimated cost: $4,500-7,000

Typical onset: 10,000-30,000 mi

Symptoms: Clunking when shifting from Drive to Reverse or during aggressive launches, Vibration through chassis during acceleration, Visible transmission sag when inspected on lift, Rougher shift quality than when new

Fix: Hydraulic transmission mount deteriorates prematurely, likely due to heat and aggressive driving cycles. Requires chassis lift and partial exhaust removal for access. Direct replacement with OE or upgraded polyurethane mount. 3-5 hours labor.

Estimated cost: $1,800-2,800

Typical onset: 20,000-50,000 mi

Symptoms: Excessive oil consumption (more than 1 qt per 1,000 miles), Blue smoke from exhaust on cold start or during deceleration, Loss of compression showing on cylinder leak-down test, Misfires and rough idle developing over time

Fix: High cylinder pressures from twin-turbo setup combined with aggressive timing maps can crack piston ring lands. Requires engine removal, full teardown, cylinder boring if scored, new pistons and rings minimum. Often both head gaskets replaced during repair. 40-55 hours total.

Estimated cost: $38,000-62,000

Symptoms: Hesitation or stumble during hard acceleration, Reduced power above 5,000 RPM, Rough idle or stalling when fuel level below half tank, Fuel pressure fault codes

Fix: Low-volume production means fuel tanks sometimes have manufacturing residue or debris that clogs filters early. High-pressure filter located under vehicle requires tank lowering or significant underbody work. 4-6 hours labor. Some shops recommend tank cleaning during service.

Estimated cost: $1,200-2,200
