Common problems with the 1995 Roadmaster
NHTSA's file holds 50 owner complaints on the 1995 Buick Roadmaster. Owners named the electrical system most often: 8 complaints. A complaint can name more than one component.
| Component (NHTSA category) | Complaints | Listing mileage | Median mileage |
|---|---|---|---|

| Suspension | 8 | 2 | Under 5 mileages |
| Vehicle Speed Control | 8 | 0 | Under 5 mileages |

Mileage when owners reported a problem with the 1995 Roadmaster
Too few complaints on the 1995 Roadmaster list a mileage to say when owners reported problems: 6 of its 50 complaints list a mileage (40,000 to 192,800 miles), and a median is given here only with 10 or more.
These mileages say when owners reported a problem, not when a 1995 Roadmaster wears out. NHTSA's file holds only vehicles whose owners complained; one that ran without a problem never appears in it, so it gives no lifespan and no cutoff, and how a vehicle was maintained matters more than any one odometer reading.
Is the 1995 Roadmaster a good year?
Complaint counts cannot say whether the 1995 is a good or a bad Roadmaster: they rise with how many were sold and how long they have been on the road. They show how the 1995 compares with the other model years in NHTSA's file.
With 50 complaints, the 1995 ranks 4th of the 5 Buick Roadmaster model years from 1992 to 1996 with 10 or more complaints, counting from the most. The most: the 1992 (87). The fewest: the 1993 (46).
Recent model years have had less time to collect complaints, so their counts are still growing. No year is ranked by mileage here, because a year's median mileage mostly follows its age.
| Model year | Owner complaints | Listing mileage | Median mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1992 Roadmaster | 87 | 9 | Under 10 mileages |
| 1993 Roadmaster | 46 | 2 | Under 10 mileages |
| 1994 Roadmaster | 85 | 3 | Under 10 mileages |
| 1995 (this page) | 50 | 6 | Under 10 mileages |
| 1996 Roadmaster | 52 | 10 | 79,125 |

What these figures can and cannot tell you
- Complaints are owners’ reports to NHTSA. NHTSA publishes them without verifying them: a complaint is an allegation, not a defect finding.
- The mileage is what the owner wrote on the complaint; NHTSA does not check it against the odometer.
- The make, model and model year are the ones on the complaint. NHTSA records them as filed, so a few complaints sit under a model year the name was not sold in.
- They are not a lifespan study. The file holds only vehicles whose owners reported a problem, so these figures do not say how long a typical 1995 Roadmaster lasts.
- A complaint count rises with how many vehicles were sold and how long they have been on the road, so it is not a rating of the 1995 Roadmaster.
- Nothing here describes one vehicle: its title brands, odometer readings, accidents and open recalls are in the records for its own VIN.
- 44 of the 50 complaints on the 1995 Buick Roadmaster give no usable mileage (blank, zero, a filler such as 999999, or over 500,000) and are left out of every mileage figure.
- NHTSA name counted: ROADMASTER. NHTSA files some vehicles under several names (a series name and a trim name, for example); this page counts only this one.
- Recall-file name matched: ROADMASTER.
