Yes, that's been out a while.  I think that's why they added the booster back to the braking system.

My Sol is an Aug'07 build (08 MY).  I've not experienced any issues with the brakes, but from what I see, my car should fall into the build ranges that had the "bad" brake system.

Anyone know if the problem only applied only to some cars, or all with this setup.  Plus is there any way to check if the TSB was applied?

on the site in one area they said 2008 Sky and Solstice equiped w/2.0 turbo cars

I noticed when I would back up and hit the brake it would chatter and the pedal would float up and down  they said it was rotors. this site says it is control problem

You would know if you had the issue, the car doesn't want to stop at all when you first start it up.  Automatics will crawl with the brakes fully engaged.

Worst case i found, I have a very steep drive way, backing out IF i dont let the car warm up the brakes are hard (lack of vacum). But its still will stop even on the steep hill  backing out. To me it feel like my z28 with the cam i have, no biggy been able stop that thing for 30years.  I can hear the sols vacum charging up on a cold start. Also if you must drive off right away, before putting into gear just rev it up a few times leting off the gas builds vacum. works for me.  It seems they tried to fix this once when i first bought the car they had to reload the stock flash, after that the car at start idles faster it seemed then would back off(no pedal just the start up ecu doing its thing( the autos once put in gear drop to normal rpm so you dont get a hard shift) The gmpp tine seems to have the same set up.
