THE SERVICE DEALER DID NOT INFORM THE CONSUMER WHY THE ABS WAS DOING THIS. *JB CONTACT STATES WHEN GOING AROUND A CURVE THE STEERING COLLAPSED, AFTER THE WHEELS ARE STRAIGHTENED THE STEERING IS NORMAL. THE SERVICE DEALER STATES THEY CAN'T FIND WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE STEERING.

I OWN A 1999 CADILLAC ESCALADE, I HAVE HAD MANY NEAR CRASHES DUE TO THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM NOT WORKING AT VERY LOW SPEEDS. I WAS TOLD BY MY LOCAL DEALER THERE IS A SELECTIVE RECALL 05V329000 THIS RECALL IS FOR SALT STATES AND ONLY CERTAIN MODELS. HE TOLD ME MY CADILLAC WAS NOT ONE OF THE MODELS, AND DID NOT KNOW IF PENNA WAS ON THE LIST. I SEE THIS AS A DIRECT SAFETY ISSUE, AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY MY CADILLAC ESCALADE SUV IS NOT LISTED WITH OTHER SUV'S AND I DEFINITELY LIVE IN A SALT STATE. *JB

I HAVE 1999 CADILLAC ESCALADE WITH ABS ACTIVATION AT LOW SPEEDS, THIS IS DUE TO CORROSION BUILD-UP BETWEEN THE ABS SENSOR AND WHEEL HUB HOUSING. GM REPLACED MANY OF THESE AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMERS IN CANADA. WELL I LIVE IN MINNESOTA, WITH SALTED ROADS. I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WENT TO THE DEALER TODAY AND ASKED THEM TO SEE IF THEY COULD FIX THE PROBLEM AT NO COST, AND THEIR ANSWER WAS NO. NOW I HAVE HIT MY GARAGE DOOR TWICE, AND THE BACK OF MY GARAGE WALL ONCE. MY FATHER HAS A 2000 YUKON DENALI WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY IS THERE NO RE…
