1991 Cadillac Allante

WHILE TRAVELING 70-80MPH I STARTED TO SLOW DOWN. AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN AT ABOUT 40MPH THE BRAKE PEDAL LIFTED MY FOOT UP. I THEN PRESSED HARDER ON THE PEDAL AND WAS UNABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICAL DOWN. FINALLY AFTER 2 SECONDS THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THE CAR SKIDDED OUT OF CONTROL. THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WAS DAMAGED WHEN THE CAR WENT UP A CURB. NO OTHER DAMAGE WAS NOTICED. I, THE DRIVER, WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE CAR. I HIT MY HEAD ON THE SIDE WINDOW DUE TO IMPACT ON CURB.

THE PROBLEM STARTED OUT SLOW, WITH THE COMPUTER CHECKING AND DIS-ENGAGING ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM AND THEN RE-ENGAGING RIGHT AFTER STARTING CAR. THIS SHOULD HAPPEN, BUT SHOULD NOT TAKE AS LONG., NO OTHER WARNING UNTILL I STARTED BRAKING ABOUT ONE MONTH LATER, WAS BRAKING AT BETWEEN 40 AND 50 MPH, AND THE WARING LIGHT AND COMPUTER CAME ON AND DIS-ENGAGE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES, FORTUATLY I WAS IN A DRIVING SITUATION THAT I WAS ABLE TO STOP. AS SOON AS I TOOK MY FOOT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE COMPUTER CAME BACK ON AND TOLD ME THE BRAKES WERE OK.. THIS KEPT HAPPENING AND THE BRAKES FELT SQUESHY, AND I TOOK THE CAR IN NOV 12 AND IT TOOK THEM 2 DAYS AND WITH THE HELP OF GM ENGENEERS, TO FIGURE OUT THE POBLEM, AND COST $925.00 TO REPLACE ACCUMULATOR.
