That was the problem with the original design switches. Yes, replace it asap. If it turns loose no brakes and no paint left around the master cylinder.

replace it asap. My brakes just failed on me today... thank god I was pulling into my bank and could call a GN expert out here in Socal to guide me through the process in identifying and fixing it temporarily. You can get the part (GM 18038508) from GMPartsDirect.com for around $100... which is about $120 cheaper than what the local GM dealer charges.
