2017 MASERATI GRANTURISMO

Typical onset: 40,000-80,000 mi

Symptoms: Metallic knocking at idle that worsens with RPM, Oil pressure warning light, Metal shavings in oil during changes, Sudden loss of power and engine seizure in severe cases

Fix: Complete engine rebuild or replacement required. Rod bearings wear prematurely due to oiling system design and extended oil change intervals. Most common on engines that saw 10k+ mile oil changes. Expect 60-80 labor hours for proper rebuild including block honing, new pistons, rings, bearings, and gaskets. Many shops sub this out or recommend used/remanufactured long block.

Estimated cost: $18,000-35,000

Typical onset: 60,000-90,000 mi

Symptoms: Harsh or delayed shifts especially 2-3 and 3-4, Transmission slipping or refusing to engage gears, Check engine light with shift solenoid codes (P0750-P0770 range), Limp mode activation

Fix: ZF 6HP26 valve body wears and solenoids fail. Requires transmission removal, valve body replacement or rebuild, and all solenoids. 12-16 hours labor. Some attempt solenoid-only replacement but valve body wear usually returns within 20k miles. Proper fluid flush mandatory after repair.

Estimated cost: $4,500-7,500

Typical onset: 50,000-100,000 mi

Symptoms: Transmission fluid puddles under engine bay center, Burnt transmission fluid smell, Low fluid level on dipstick, Overheating transmission with slipping under load

Fix: Hard lines and rubber sections crack from heat cycling. Lines run along engine valley and require significant disassembly to access properly. 6-8 hours labor. Replace all cooler lines as a set, not individually. OEM parts essential—aftermarket lines fail quickly.

Estimated cost: $1,800-2,800

Typical onset: 40,000-70,000 mi

Symptoms: Clunking when shifting from Park to Drive or Reverse, Vibration through center console at idle, Excessive drivetrain movement visible during acceleration, Banging noise over bumps from tunnel area

Fix: Rubber mount deteriorates from heat and age. Access is tight but straightforward once exhaust is dropped. 3-4 hours labor. Inspect front engine mounts simultaneously—they often fail around same interval.

Estimated cost: $800-1,200

Typical onset: 60,000-80,000 mi

Symptoms: Hard starting especially when hot, Stumbling and hesitation under acceleration, Limp mode at highway speeds, Fuel pressure codes (P0087), Check engine light

Fix: High-pressure filter in fuel tank assembly clogs from sediment, especially if premium fuel discipline lapses. Requires fuel tank drop. 4-5 hours labor. Maserati officially says 'lifetime' filter but real-world is 60-80k. Replace both high-pressure and inline filters simultaneously.

Estimated cost: $900-1,400

Typical onset: 70,000-110,000 mi

Symptoms: Rough idle and poor low-end torque, Check engine light with P0010-P0014 codes (VVT system), Rattling from valve covers on cold start, Reduced fuel economy

Fix: VVT solenoids stick from sludge buildup. Eight solenoids total (one per cam). Access requires valve cover removal both sides. Often accompanied by cam position sensor failures. 6-8 hours labor to do all solenoids preventively. Clean oil journals during repair.

Estimated cost: $1,500-2,500
