Cadillac headlight problems

Owners have filed 2,225 complaints with NHTSA about the lighting on Cadillac vehicles — 11% of everything reported about the brand, across 29 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Cadillac SRX, worst in 2015.

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.
