1992 Cadillac Allante Brakes Problems

“These vehicles have bosche braking system that is activated by a relay. That and several other things, about this system, can cause these brakes to malfunction or to fail completely any time the car is in motion. This generally known to anyone who owns one of these cars, and to general motors. This is a very serious situation that can very easily cause serious injury or death to anyone close to these vehicles. I was blessed that this happened in my driveway and did not cause an accident, but could have been on the highway in heavy traffic at 65 or 70 MPH.”

“Complete failure of braking functions. Dealer diagnosis and estimate of repairs was $3,500.00. I obtained parts and had an independent repair shop replace components. Mechanic reported to me that origenal parts had GM rebuilt part stickers on them. Auto was origonaly owned by a leasing co. In chicago il. Gm will not furnish me with previous warranty history.”

“This is the second time the ABS and master cylindar have been replaced. The original owner once and myself once at 3,000 dollars each. When the problem happended I had no brakes and if I had been on the interstate I would have been killed or someone elses family could have been killed.”

“Brake warning light is coming on and sometimes brakes are too hard to stop without pumping. Dealer wants $5000 to replace master cylinder but admits they don't know anything about the car they manufactured and can't tell me whats wrong. I contacted Cadillac about the incompetence of their agents and they replyed that the dealer was independent. I can't spend $5000 to find out if this will fix it. The master cylinder which they want to replace has been replaced before in a 59000 mile car. …”

“The problem concerning my ABS failure took almost 2 months to correct with repeated trips to & from the dealer. They would tell me it was corrected and I would drive anywhere from 2 miles to 45 miles before the brakes would fail. I had many phone calls with Cadillac and a file was kept on the progress and complaints. I informed Cadillac that this is a serious problem and should be looked into before someone gets killed. Feel free to contact me. I'll be more than willing to help. Sincerely, sharon webb”
