| 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. | |||

| I own a 1999 cadillac escalade. it has 110,000 approximate miles. for the last few hundred miles, i've had trouble with stopping at a low rate of speed. nearly running into my garage, and other vehicles in front of me. the abs light comes on intermittingly, then goes off. i've been told by friends/ relatives that there where previous complaints, and problems with the gm braking system. i've spoken with the sevice manager at david taylor cadillac. on 03/24/2010. he said that there is not a recall on or for my vehicle. | |||
