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.

Master cylinder failed causing the brakes to fail while driver was backing out of a parking space. Nlm
I understand that you have opened an "engineering analysis" on the braking system on 1987-1992 cadillac allantes. I purchased my allante in nov 1998, and a "remanufactured for gm" sticker is on the fluid reservoir on the master cylinder, indicating that at some point this component has been replaced. I just wanted to add my car to your list of allantes that have experienced problems with the highly complicated system found on the 87-92 allante. I have forwarded copies of this form to two acquaintances who also own allantes and have also had antilock brake problems with their cars.
Total brake failure--no braking function at all.
Abs master cylinder failed resulting in excessive pedal pressure and loss of stopping ability.
Brakes do not stop car properly.
When the brakes go out it is all you can do to stop the car.
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.
Dealers service technician says this is a common problem on 1988 thru 1992 allante's. Brake pedal went rock hard, car pulled to left as I pressed brakes harder. If turnpike speeds had been involved this situation could have been fatal
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
