1987 Cadillac Eldorado

The federal record begins three years after the 1987 Eldorado, showing a modest baseline of 35 complaints and four recalls in 1990, followed by a sharp dip to 13 complaints and a single recall in 1991. From 1992 onward, complaints climb steadily, peaking at 81 in 1996, while recalls remain low (one to two per year) and investigations are rare. The trend indicates that, during the early‑1990s, the platform experienced increasing consumer‑reported issues but without a corresponding rise in formal recalls, suggesting most problems were addressed without major safety actions. Although the dataset does not include 1987, the surrounding years imply that the 1987 model sits at the beginning of a period that later saw higher complaint volumes, so its exposure to the later‑year issues was likely lower. Consequently, 1987 is comparatively less burdened by the complaint surge seen mid‑1990s, making it a relatively safer year to consider for purchase.
