: the contact stated the brake, vsc, and traction off lights on the dash illuminated and stays on. The vehicle was taken to the dealer 6-7 times. The brake fluid was found to be leaking and was refilled. The next time it was taken to the dealer a complete brake job was performed but the contact does not know what parts were replaced. The dealer has determined the problem can not be found and the vehicle is still leaking brake fluid. Updated 7/7//2006 -
