The ABS system ws replaced approx. Rwo thousand miles and two years ago. It has now failed for the second time and the cart has only 31,000 miles and at least 1/4th of the original brake pads left. Manufacture charged $200 towards first failure and now wants me to pay half of part cost and all of labor to replace a part with only two thousand miles on it.

ABS light or ABS activating by model year
What owners say
Complete ABS system was actually replaced twice ( again on 09/22/1999 at 62,434 miles ) as the unit installed on 09/17/1999, reported herein, was also defective. Please add this complaint to your files relating to the currently open investigation of the alleged braking system failures on 1987-1992 cadillac allante odi action number: ea99-017.
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.
This is the third time in less than a year and approximately 2500 miles that we have brake failure. The first time the vehicle only lost the ABS -- the master cylinder was replaced with a cadillac re-manufactured unit. The 2nd failure was total loss of braking -- a different cadillac dealer (jack wolf, belvidere, il) replaced master cylinder again with a re-manufactured. The last braking system was again a total failure !!/6/1999. Vehicle was towed to jack wolf , belvidere,il 11/08/1999. Have not heard status as of this a.m.
Same ABS brake part replaced with a re-manufactured part (no new parts available) at around 32,000 miles and replaced under warranty. This is the hydraulic servo and nothing to do with brake pads or other brake parts that can wear fast because of driver.
Abs master cylinder failed resulting in excessive pedal pressure and loss of stopping ability.
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
