1999 Cadillac Escalade problems

“I HAVE 1999 CADILLAC ESCALADE WITH ABS ACTIVATION AT LOW SPEEDS, THIS IS DUE TO CORROSION BUILD-UP BETWEEN THE ABS SENSOR AND WHEEL HUB HOUSING.

“1990 VINTAGE GENERAL MOTORS 350 CI ENGINE HAS A PEWTER HEATER HOSE CONNECTOR ON THE ENGINE THAT IS INAPPROPRIATE MATERIAL AND PRONE TO FAILURE.

THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM BY GMC. *AK”

I HOPE THIS IS TRUE. *AK”
