Phoenix is demanding on a Ferrari California. Extreme heat, stop-and-go traffic and long highway miles on the I-17, the 51 and the Loop 101 all show up as wear. Below are the Ferrari California problems owners report most often, what each one looks like from the driver's seat, and how we fix it.
Most Common Ferrari California Problems in Phoenix
Ranked by owner complaints filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for the California. Counts reflect reports filed, not the share of vehicles affected.

3 NHTSA owner complaints for the California mention airbags and seat belts (50% of 6 reviewed).
What it looks like:
- Airbag or SRS warning light
- Seat belt that will not latch or retract
- Open safety recall notices
- Seat or restraint warning messages
What we do: Airbag and restraint issues are often tied to open safety recalls, which are repaired by the manufacturer at no cost to you. Check your VIN on NHTSA's recall lookup first, and we can help with related warning lights and diagnostics. See our auto repair page.
2. Vehicle Speed Control

What it looks like:

- Unusual throttle response

What it looks like:

What it looks like:

Ferrari California Maintenance in Phoenix Heat
- Test the California battery before every summer, and replace it proactively around the 3-year mark
- Follow the severe-service schedule for oil and fluids, since Phoenix heat and traffic count as severe use
- Inspect California brakes and tires twice a year; heat and stop-and-go driving wear both quickly
- Check coolant level and condition, and inspect belts and hoses for cracking
- Service the A/C early; a weak system rarely fixes itself
- Replace wiper blades and check lights, since sun destroys rubber and plastics
