Cadillac fuel system problems

Owners have filed 922 complaints with NHTSA about the fuel system on Cadillac vehicles — 4% of everything reported about the brand, across 33 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Cadillac Deville, worst in 1995.

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.
