1995 Cadillac Seville — reported problems

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 85 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

• Fuel system23 (27.1%)Official recall records for this system: 3, covering model years 1995–2003.
• Engine13 (15.3%)
• Air bags (restraint system)10 (11.8%)Official recall records for this system: 2, covering model years 1995.
• Electrical system10 (11.8%)Official recall records for this system: 3, covering model years 1996–1999.
• Brakes6 (7.1%)Official recall records for this system: 4, covering model years 1997–2000.
• Tires & wheels4 (4.7%)

Other / uncategorized: 5 classifications (5.9%) 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 (1,180 records, model years 1995–2004) are most frequently classified under: engine, electrical system and steering.
• Manufacturer communications (3,080 records, model years 1995–2004) are most frequently classified under: equipment & accessories, engine 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

Mileage reported when the issue occurred

• 27reports included a mileage
• 103,441average of those mileages

This is the mileage owners recorded at the time they reported, not an expected failure mileage and not a prediction for any individual vehicle. The lowest and highest figures on record are not shown: they are unverified odometer entries that include zeros and implausibly high readings, so they would not describe a real range. A median is not shown either, because the stored figures are group totals and a median cannot be recovered from them.

Diagnostic codes found in evidence for this vehicle

These codes appear by explicit identifier in official records matched to this exact model and year.
