NHTSA Complaint #715205 — 1991 CADILLAC ALLANTE

BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED AND BRAKE LIGHT ON DASH CAME ON - I WAS IN A PARKING LOT SO I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR. HOWEVER, THE CAR IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL UNDER BRAKING AND I DRIVE IT ONLY OCCASIONALLY NOW. THE DEALER LOOKED AT IT ONCE AND REPLACED A SWITCH BUT THIS DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE NEXT TIME THEY SAID THAT IT NEEDS A PART THAT WILL COST UPWARDS OF $2600.00, I HAVE NOT YET FIXED THIS BECAUSE I FEEL THAT THIS SYSTEM WAS POORLY DESIGNED AND SHOULD NOT FAIL TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS THIS EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS.
