2007 CADILLAC STS
This model year
What the record shows
The 2007 Cadillac Sts is a midsize car, and the 10th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 1998 to 2012.
The EPA rated three configurations: engines from 3.6-litre six-cylinder to 4.6-litre eight-cylinder, 4-wheel or all-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive, two transmissions and running on premium gasoline and regular gasoline.
Combined fuel economy ranges from 16 to 19 mpg depending on which one you have.
The federal record holds 52 owner complaints, 1 safety recall and 820 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
