Cadillac Fleetwood — reported problems

CarFaultIQ holds 190 evidence records for the Cadillac Fleetwood (1995–1996), drawn from official sources and owner complaints.

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 118 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

  • Brakes16 (13.6%)
  • Steering12 (10.2%)
  • Electrical system8 (6.8%)
  • Powertrain (transmission & drivetrain)8 (6.8%)Official recall records for this system: 1, covering model years 1995.
  • Suspension8 (6.8%)Official recall records for this system: 4, covering model years 1995–1996.
  • Air bags (restraint system)6 (5.1%)

Other / uncategorized: 8 classifications (6.8%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

  • Owner complaints (70 records, model years 1995–1996) are most frequently classified under: brakes, steering and electrical system.
  • Manufacturer communications (96 records, model years 1995–1996) are most frequently classified under: equipment & accessories, powertrain (transmission & drivetrain) and electrical system.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
