AS I REPORTED TO NHTSA ON 22 JAN.,'98, THE ABS IS DEFECTIVE AT SLOW VERY SLIPERY CONDITIONS. APPARENTLY THIS IS WELL RECOGNIZED AS THE NEW CADILLAC 2000 ADVERTISES A "NEW SIDE SLIP RATE CONTROL THAT APPLIES BOTH FRONT BRAKES TO SLOW THINGS DOWN" THIS WOULD HAVE PREVENTED MY ROLLING THRU AN INTERSECTION WITH BOTH THIS CAR AND A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE WITH MY ABS EQUIPPED 1988 CADILLAC DEVILLE. BOTH OF THESE CARS AND ALL THE OTHER ABS EQUIPPED GM CARS ARE JUST WAITING FOR SLIPPERY ROAD ACCIDENTS DUE TO A TOTAL LACK OF ANY ABILITY TO STOP THESE CARS.LOTS OF BRAKE PEDAL JUST NO WHEEL BRAKING. THE NEW CADIILLAC ADDRESSES THE PROBLEM BUT I WANT MY CARS FIXED ALSO.
