Several times a day I get a warning message stabilitrak off, stabilitrak light comes on, then the ding, ding, ding then the brake light comes on, then another message: Warning service breaks. A few seconds later the brake warning went away, the stabilitrak light stays on. This happens about 10 times a day, everyday for the past 3 weeks. I'll be taking it in soon to my mechanic, who told me to get rid of this car after he replaced the transmission ($3K) 5 months ago. I hope this isn't going to cost me an arm and a leg to get fixed! Man, I've never had such problems with a car before. Does anyone know what's causing this and if it's a serious brake issue? Or just faulty warning messages? The brakes seem fine...for now.
