Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I recieved an antilock disabled message and within 1 mile the brakes totally failed. the car still had good brake pedal, but no brakes at all. the emergency brakes failed as well. fortunately, it was 3:30 am and no traffic. i was able to swing into an empty parking lot and circle until the car came to a stop. upon talking to several other allante owners, i found out that this is a frequent occurance with these cars. does someone have to be killed before cadillac does something about this potientially fatal flaw?*ak
