| 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 | |||
