THE HOOD FLUTTERS TERRIBLY BEGINNING AROUND 40MPH AND GETS INCREASING WORSE AS THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES FURTHER. I NOTICED THIS SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT IT WASN'T A PROBLEM BUT JUST THE NATURE OF THAT YEARS MODEL 1999 CADILLAC ESCALADE, WHICH I STILL HAVE AND IT STILL FLUTTERS AND WOBBLES AS THOUGH ITS GETTING READY TO FLY OFF ITS HINGES!!! *TR

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

DT: 1999 CADILLAC ESCALADE. THE CONTACT STATES THE ABS IS MAKING HORRIBLE NOISES AND PULSATSE WHEN DRIVING UNDER 15 MPH. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN WORKED ON 5 TIMES ALREADY SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO EXCESSIVE WEAR. THE LAST TIME HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALER THEY TOLD HIM IF HE COULD WAIT AWHILE THERE MIGHT BE A RECALL FOR THE ABS PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP STATED IT SHOUL B E APROBLEM DRIVING THE VEHICLE LIKE THIS. WHEN HE DROVE THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS NOT MAKING ANY NOISE. THAT WAS A MONTH AND A HALF AGO, BUT THE NOISE CAME BACK. *AK

DT CONSUMER STATED WHEN THE BRAKES ARE PRESSED THE ABS GOES OFF AT ABOUT 5 MPH. CONSUMER STATED THAT THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. 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.
