| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Three total brake failures to date. two resulted in accidents when the allante had to be crashed into trucks on each occassion to stop without injury to pedestrians. property damage in each case was about $1,000 to the allante and $2,000 to the trucks in each case. the car was then towed to cadillac who examined the brake system and could not "find a problem." however, on each occasion, cadillac replaced the entire brake system and master cylinder at no charge. we were advised (and still are told) by cadillac that they have never experienced a brake failure or similar incident in any allante! we just learned this is not the case when we discovered your website. the denial of any brake incidents has come from university cadillac, bayview cadillac, the cadillac south florida area representative and cadillac through their "800" number 1-800-allante. obviously, this not being the truth, this is a company-wide effort to withhold the truth from allante owners! |
