Air Suspension System Leaks in 2016-2020 Models

A hallmark of the Levante is its advanced air suspension system, which adapts the ride height and damping characteristics to provide a smooth, even ride. However, air suspension components like the springs and lines are vulnerable to leaks. Symptoms include uneven ride height, compromised handling, and an illuminated suspension warning light. If you notice these issues in your 2016-2020 Levante, prompt inspection and repair at Fremont Foreign Auto can prevent further damage. Our technicians will diagnose the leak using state-of-the-art leak detection methods. Then, we’ll replace any cracked lines, damaged springs, or faulty valves. Your ride height and composure will be restored.

Transmission Control Module Failure in 2017-2019 Models

The Levante’s sophisticated 8-speed automatic transmission delivers refined, responsive shifts. But the transmission control module (TCM) that oversees its operation is prone to early failure. Signs include harsh shifting, warning lights, and limp mode activation. Fremont Foreign Auto will connect your 2017-2019 Levante to our advanced diagnostic systems to pinpoint if the TCM has a software corruption or electrical issue. If replacement is needed, we install a new factory-grade TCM calibrated specifically for your vehicle to restore smooth shifting.

Electrical Gremlins in 2017-2020 Vehicles

From the climate control to the infotainment system, the Levante has many electrical components that enhance comfort and convenience. But even minor faults can cause frustrating issues like inoperable seats and glitchy touchscreens. Fremont Foreign Auto’s electrical diagnostic tools track down elusive gremlins in a Levante’s intricate wiring harnesses and control modules. We identify and repair the root cause, whether it’s a damaged connector or faulty module.

Premature Fuel Pump Failure

The Levante’s fuel pump precisely meters the optimal amount of fuel to match engine load. But contaminants and wear can cause it to fail prematurely, resulting in poor drivability. Warning signs in higher-mileage Levantes include rough idle, hesitation, stalling, and check engine lights. Fremont Foreign Auto will accurately diagnose a failing pump using fuel pressure testing. We replace worn pumps with new Maserati OEM units to restore smooth running.

Defective Timing Chain Tensioners in 2017-2020 V6 Models

The timing chain in the Levante’s twin-turbo 3.0L V6 engine is critical for synchronization. A faulty tensioner allows chain slack/vibration, indicated by knocking noises on startup. Have your 2017-2020 Levante inspected immediately if you notice unusual engine noises. We’ll determine if the tensioner has failed and replace it promptly with a genuine Maserati tensioner. This prevents further timing chain damage for quiet, reliable operation.

Premature Brake Component Wear

Advanced high-performance brakes give the Levante formidable stopping power. But pads, rotors, and caliper seals wear down over time. Symptoms like squeaking, a spongy pedal feel, or grinding noises indicate servicing is due. Fremont Foreign Auto thoroughly examines your brake components, measuring pad thickness and rotor wear. We replace any excessively worn parts with original Maserati brake hardware for confidence-inspiring braking.

Engine Coolant Leaks

The Levante’s cooling system maintains optimal operating temperature, but is vulnerable to leaks from aged components like hoses, gaskets, and water pumps. Warning signs include visible coolant puddles, overheating gauges, and sweet coolant odors from the engine bay. Left unchecked, coolant loss can lead to severe engine damage. Fremont Foreign Auto’s leak detection methods pinpoint the exact source of any leaks. We replace only the affected cooling components, using quality Maserati parts to prevent future leaks.

And catching minor issues early, before they become major repairs, saves money.
