Cadillac electrical problems

Owners have filed 2,568 complaints with NHTSA about the electrical system on Cadillac vehicles — 100% of everything reported about the brand, across 41 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Cadillac Deville, worst in 2000.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
