How many GS's had Master Cylinder problems?
I'm curious, because my dealer's service rep said he never saw a failed master cylinder on a GS before? I have read on CL that it's happened to some already. How many?
Other than a disappointing failed part I stil love my GS3!!!
Thanks for any feedback.

If I had to pay out of pocket, it would have been a mighty hefty price tag. Over $1500!!

How do you know when yours is about to go out?
I bought my 99 GS4 at 30k miles and it now has 53k miles. Ever since day one my GS4 has made a strange mechanical noise that sounds like a pump pressurizing something and then at the end it makes a 'tapping' noise... it only does it every so often when I apply the brakes, and always when I first start the car up in the morning.
Is something losing pressure or what?

I know of two people in the UK who have had to replace the master cylinder. 2001 models onwards have a newer design and I haven't heard of a problem with one of those.
