2019 CADILLAC XTS
This model year
What the record shows
The 2019 Cadillac Xts is a large car, and the 7th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 2013 to 2020.
The EPA rated one configuration: a single 3.6-litre six-cylinder engine, front-wheel drive only, a single transmission, Automatic (S6) and running on regular gasoline.
Combined fuel economy is 22 mpg.
The federal record holds 5 owner complaints, 2 safety recalls and 525 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.
