1989 Cadillac Allante

I WAS DRIVING TO CHURCH WITH MY DAUGHTER ON OCTOBER 24, 1999 TRAVELLING ABOUT 35 MPH ON DRY PAVEMENT WITH OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE ABOUT 70 F. AS I APPLIED BRAKES TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN AS USUAL, BUT SUDDENLY PUSHED MY FOOT UP AND BRAKING EFFECT BECAME NOTICEABLE LESS. FORTUNATELY, ON SUNDAY THERE IS NOT MUCH TRAFFIC AT THIS INTERSECTION, BUT WITH MORE A USUAL TRAFFIC PATTERN I WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THERE WAS NO WARNING PRIOR TO THIS EVENT. THE BRAKES APPEARED TO BE WORKING NORMALLY. AT THE TIME OF THE BRAKE MALFUNCTIONED, THE RED BRAKE LIGHT LIT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ALONG WITH THE LIGHT BEHIND THE CHECK INFORMATION CENTER AREA ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE DRIVER'S INFORMATION CENTER PANEL DISPLAYED "ANTI-LOCK DISABLED" FOLLOWED IN A FEW SECONDS BY "ANTI-LOCK OK". A SIMILAR SEQUENCE OF EVENTS RECURRED AS I DROVE THE CAR HOME SLOWLY. I CONTACTED GARY AT 1-800-ALLANTE WHO INFORMED ME THAT GENERAL MOTORS IS AWARE OF ANTI-LOCK FAILURES ON ALLANTES BUT HAS NOT "OPENED A CAMPAIGN". HE TOLD ME HE WAS "NOT ALLOWED" TO SAY ANYTHING FURTHER OTHER THAN TO CONTACT MY DEALER. THE CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED. THE PROBLEM BEING ISOLATED TO THE ANTI-LOCK PUMP AND ACCUMULATOR. *AK
