One of the years to avoid

With 33 complaints filed to NHTSA — about 8.3 times the median Ghibli year — the 2015 model ranks #3 of 11 Ghibli years for complaint volume. It lands on the years-to-avoid list.

No single system dominates the record — complaints spread across speed control (7), electrical system (5), and fuel system (4), which usually points to general build quality rather than one defect.
