I THINK THAT SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG WITH MY FRONT STEERING, I CAN'T KEEP IT GOING STRAIGHT ON THE ROAD. IT KEEPS DARTING TO THE LEFT AND TO THE RIGHT.I HAVE HAD IT ALIGNED TWO TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH. I THINK THAT CADILLAC SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED.

THE FIRST TWO OCCASIONS OF SPEED CONTROL FAILURE OCCURRED TODAY. WHILE TRAVELING WITH THE SPEED CONTROL SET TO ABOUT 65MPH, THE CONTROL FAILED TO DISENGAGE WHEN THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED THE FIRST TIME. UPON BRAKING A SECOND TIME, IT DID DISENGAGE. SHORTLY AFTERWARDS, THE CONTROL WAS SET TO ABOUT 55MPH AND WOULD NOT DISENGAGE AFTER REPEATED BRAKING EFFORTS. IT WAS DISENGAGED MANUALLY AND NOT USED SINCE. *TR

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 REAL, THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM... *TR

NEARLY RUNNING INTO MY GARAGE, AND OTHER VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME. THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTINGLY, THEN GOES OFF.
