TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CADILLAC ESCALADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD EXHIBIT A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHEN DRIVING IN REVERSE AND WOULD THEN SLIP INTO NEUTRAL. THE GRINDING NOISE WOULD ALSO BE A RESULT OF THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE SLIPPING INTO 2-WHEEL DRIVE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS A FAILURE IN THE TRANSFER CASE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE TO ACCOMMODATE TRAFFIC, BUT THE CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT DISENGAGE; MY VEHICLE SLOWED A FEW MILES PER HOUR AND THEN RAPIDLY ACCELERATED, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I TRIED TO BRAKE AGAIN, BUT THE SAME THING HAPPENED! ONLY WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL WAS I ABLE TO STOP! I HAVE READ A FEW OTHER SIMILAR REPORTS IN WHICH THE CAR WAS NOT EVEN USING CRUISE CONTROL AND AM NOW AFRAID OF GETTING INTO A "TOYOTA"-TYPE ACCIDENT EVEN IF I DO NOT USE THE CRUISE CONTROL. WHAT AM I TO DO??? PLEASE ADVISE... *TR

I HAD 2000 YEAR MODEL ESCALADE SUV. FIVE YEARS AGO IT PRESENTED THE PROBLEM OF REAR COMPARTMENT AIR BLOWER NOT STOPPING ON TURNING THE ENGINE OFF. BATTERY WAS GETTING DRAINED. NO HELP FROM GM. I TOOK THE FUSE OFF FOR THE AIR BLOWER TO STOP BATTERY DRAIN. TWO YEARS LATER I PUT THE FUSE BACK TO CHECK IT . IT FUNCTIONED OK. IS IT ELECTRONIC MALFUNCTION? *TR
