Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Repaired 6/99, used parts, failed again 9/99 (a little different), $4000 repair, all allante's experiencing same problems. very dangerous, very expensive to fix, brakes fail with no warning. could cause severe accident and injure, kill allante driver, passengers, and innocent bystanders. gm discontinued using this system instead of doing recall. if you sent questionaires out to all allante' owners, i'm sure at least 70% would say that they have this problem. gm is well aware of the problem and hasn't done anything about it. it's one thing to know about the problem and cough up the $4000 to have it fixed, but it's crimminal for gm to allow people like me to experience the problem first-hand as i'm trying to stop at an intersection. i would like to see the statistics on allante' wrecks and how they happened. i'm sure many have been because of this. these cars shouldn't be allowed on the roadways unless they have been retrofitted with new system. *ak
