My vehicle began giving a stabilitrak notification. I took the vehicle in to identify the issue I was told by the GM service department that the master cylinder was leaking into the booster and would eventually cause the brakes to fail. Upon further research I have found several individuals who have dealt with the same issue. This is obviously a factory issue that is eventually going to cause injury or possibly fatality.
