1993 Cadillac Allante review from North America
"The 1993 Allante is an electronic disaster"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear pull-down top motor had to be replaced.
The passenger side 'quick down' window regulator was replaced.
The automatic 'up-down' radio aerial motor was replaced.
The crankshaft sensor and MAP sensor were replaced.
The fourth range up-shift solenoid kit and attendant computer chip had to be replaced. Dealer on first try failed this installation completely!
The drive train computer had to be replaced.
The CD read head no longer works. This is a $600.00 plus repair.
The vehicle has inexplicably 'gone dead' two times and had to be trucked into the dealer for service.
The leather outer edge on the driver's side is abraded and unsightly.
General comments?
This vehicle is a liability and I am earnestly in process to get rid of it.
Cadillac Division of General Motors deserves a huge expletive for allowing this machine to be sold.
I will never buy another Cadillac Division automobile...ever.
