As a high end automotive manufacturer, it’s easy to think that all Maseratis are created equal. They’re not. The Maserati Biturbo launched in 1984 is a glaring failure of the company’s high quality standards. The Maserati Biturbo was underfunded, leading to a subpar vehicle that literally fell apart. This includes snapped parts, fluid leaks, and burnt components.

A very expensive car became much more costly when its owners needed to continue to seek the assistance of the dealership for repairs. There were many service advisories issued for the vehicle, which made it an expensive problem for the Italian automotive manufacturer.
