UPON PURCHASING VEHICLE DEALER REFUSED TO INSTALL NECK EXTENTION SINCE DECEMBER 2001. THERE ARE RECALLS 99 V 141 000MANUFACTURER'S RECALL 9196, AND RECALL AND 00 V 122 000/ MANUFACTURER'S RECALL 10497. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.

DUE TO DESIGN AND MOUNTING CONNECTION, BATTERY IS DISCONNECTING, THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED THE BATTERY TO EXPLODE, ON ONE OCCASION VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING, ON ANOTHER OCCASION THIS CAUSED BATTERY TO NOT HOLD CHARGES. CONSUMER STATES WHEN RETURNING FROM TRIPS, THE BATTERY IS DEAD THE NEXT DAY, IN EVERY INSTANCE THE BATTERY IS DEAD BECAUSE IT NO LONGER WAS ABLE TO HAVE CONTINUOUS CONNECTION TO THE CABLE. *SLC

WE PURCHASED A 99 ESCALADE CADILLAC UNDER A MISLEADING ASSUMPTION OF CONDITION OF VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY HAD SEVERE VIBRATION IN STEERING AND SUSPENSION WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 60 - 85 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO THE GM DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR REPAIRS. 12+ SETS OF TIRES WERE REPLACED IN JUST ONE DAY. THERE FINAL STATEMENT WAS THAT ALL THE GOODYEAR TIRES DESIGNED FOR THIS VEHICLE WOULD NOT ALIGN UP. A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED AND REPAIRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE BODY ELECTRICAL WAS REPAIRED. THE ENGINE ELECTRICAL WAS REPAIRED. DOOR PANELS (LEFT & RIGHT) WERE REPLACED. THE FORWARD SEATS, CONSOLE & DASH WAS REPLACED. BRAKES FAILED SEVERAL TIMES AND ARE CURRENTLY BAD. MAJOR VIBRATION AND SHAKING FROM DAY ONE MAY, 1, 2001. THE VEHICLE VIBRATES DURING HIGH RATE OF SPEEDS. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IS UNSAFE. GMC HAS BEEN CONTACTED BY OUR ATTOURNEYS. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS WITH MS NADINE WILLIAMS, GM ATTOURNEY. THE CBBB HAS FILED 2 CASES AGAINST GM RESULTING WITH STILL NO ANSWERS OR FAIR SETTLEMENTS. THE BRAKES, TIRES, SUSPENSION AND UNKNOWN PROBLEMS STILL EXIST. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERS AGAIN BEING REPAIRED FOR BRAKES, ROTORS, VIBRATION, TIRES AND ALIGNMENT AND SUSPENSION PROBLEMS. WHAT DO WE DO??? WE HAVE NO HELP BUT ARE STILL DRIVING A VERY DANGEROUS TOP OF THE LINE VEHICLE. WE HAVE PURCHASED SEVERAL VEHICLES FROM GM OVER THE PAST 15 YEARS. GM WILL NOT AND CANNOT REPAIR THIS VEHICLE. BREACH OF WARRANTY. WE ARE CURRENTLY FILING SUIT AGAINST FENDER CADILLAC AND GENERAL MOTORS. PLEASE RESPOND. PLEASE HELP. ANY INFO WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED FROM MY 8 MONTH PREGNANT WIFE, MY DAUGHTER, MY SON AND MYSELF. THANK YOU. SINCERELY AT AUGH. FRANCIS GAY. *AK( DOT NUMBER: )

BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER FAILS TO WORK PROPERLY. WAS APPLYING BRAKES TO STOP, AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR. THIS CAUSED A GREATER STOPPING DISTANCE THAN USUAL. BRAKE WOULD NOT HOLD PRESSURE. TOOL TO DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 4 TIMES FOR MASTER CYLINDER. WAS ONLY REPAIRED TWICE.*AK

THE VEHICLE HESITATES AND THEN CLUNKS INTO GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A FULL STOP. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY INFORMED ME THAT CADILLAC WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AS IT SEEMS TO BE INHERENT, BUT AS OF YET THEY DO NOT HAVE A SOLUTION AND I SHOULD CALL THEM BACK IN ABOUT ONE MONTH FOR A PROGRESS UPDATE. I HOPE THIS IS TRUE. *AK
