2000 Cadillac Deville at 65,000 miles
You did not give a mileage, so this uses 65,000 — the median reported failure mileage for this model year, which is a rough stand-in for “a typical example of this car”. Put your real reading in the box below for an answer about your car.
At 65,000 miles on this car
At 65,000 miles on a 2000 Cadillac Deville, 22 of the failure modes other owners have reported already have their median report at or below your reading, and 2 more fall inside the window where they are usually reported. The heaviest of the ones already due is other engine problem.
Already past the median 22
Half of all reports of these failures came in at or below where your car is now.

- Other body or interior problem 30k
- Steering rack, gear or tie rod failure 63k
- Engine sensor failure 25k
- Wiring harness or short circuit 15k
- Other powertrain problem 50k
- Other suspension problem 51k
- Alternator or charging system failure 38k
- Premature brake pad or rotor wear 30k
10 more.
You are in the window 2
Your reading falls inside the middle half of reports for these.

- Brake line, hose or caliper failure 85k
- Oil leak 86k
- Other speed control problem 87k

6 more.
Timing unknown 7
Reported, but too few owners gave an odometer reading to place them.
- Control module (ECM/PCM/BCM) failure 3×
- Wiper or washer failure 2×
- Other lighting problem 2×
- Misfire or rough idle 1×
- Radiator or coolant leak 1×
- Fuel tank, filler or EVAP failure 1×
- Loss of power steering 1×
Why the list is generic until you type a number
Every figure below is a comparison against your odometer, so with no reading given the page has to pick one: 65,000 miles, roughly what a 2000 car covers at 12,000 miles a year. A reading 30,000 miles either side of that moves failures between the columns, which is the difference between a useful list and a generic one.
Already inside the reported range
22 failure modes on the 2000 Cadillac Deville have a median reported mileage at or below 65,000: other engine problem (median 45,000 miles, 39 reports), seat belt or retractor failure (median 55,000 miles, 19 reports), ignition switch, key fob or immobilizer failure (median 65,000 miles, 13 reports), ABS module or sensor failure (median 60,000 miles, 12 reports), other body or interior problem (median 30,000 miles, 12 reports) and steering rack, gear or tie rod failure (median 65,000 miles, 9 reports).
Half the owners who reported each of these had done so by that mileage, which means half had not. A failure being "due" here is a statement about other people's cars, and the useful response is an inspection rather than a pre-emptive repair.
The window you are in now
2 further modes are reported in a band that includes 65,000 miles: other visibility problem (64k to 85,000 miles) and other electrical problem (57k to 110,000 miles). These are the ones to watch on this car over the next few thousand miles.
A window here is the 25th to 75th percentile of reported mileages, so it holds the middle half of the reports and excludes the tails on both sides.
Still ahead of you
18 further modes sit above your reading, the nearest being other driver assistance problem at a median of 65,000 miles. On a car you intend to keep, these are the ones that decide whether it is worth keeping.
What this list is not
It is a reading of what owners of other 2000 Cadillac Devilles reported, and at what odometer reading they reported it. It is not a maintenance schedule, not a diagnosis, and not a prediction about this car: two identical cars with different service histories are not the same car.
Complaints are filed voluntarily, mileages are typed in by owners and cluster on round numbers, and a failure mode with few reports has a wide window even when the median looks precise. Modes with fewer than 8 dated reports are shown without percentiles for that reason.
Where 65,000 miles falls on the curve
The three columns above sort the failure modes one by one. This is the same evidence in aggregate: every dated report on this model year, stacked up in the order the odometer readings arrived. The dashed line marked you is where your car sits. How much of the line is to the left of that mark is how much of this model year's reported trouble is, on the evidence, already behind you.
About 40% of the dated reports on this model year had already been filed by 65,000 miles. That is the share of the problems that show up in this record, not of the problems this car will have. A further 2 reports came in above the top of the scale, which is why the line stops short of the top.
- Line share of reports filed by that mileage
- Dashed the mileages called out above
A steep early climb means a car whose reports cluster young, which is the pattern of a defect rather than of wear. A line that only gets going past six figures is the opposite. Neither shape says anything about the specific car in your driveway, and a curve built from a few dozen readings can be moved by one owner with a talkative afternoon.

Questions this page answers
What should I expect at 65,000 miles on a 2000 Cadillac Deville?
22 of the failure modes owners have reported on the 2000 Cadillac Deville have a median report at or below 65,000 miles, and 2 more fall inside the mileage window where they are usually reported. That is a watch list drawn from other owners, not a prediction about this car.
How to use the three columns. The left column is the list to hand a mechanic before you buy, and to check the service history for if you already own the car. The middle column is what to budget for this year. The right column is not a reprieve — it is a reminder that a used car has a bill schedule, and this is roughly where it falls. All of it is drawn from 312 owner complaints about this exact model year, not from a maintenance manual. How the percentiles are computed.
