Brake Light Keeps Coming on

I periodically get a brake light comes on for no reason, it's like I have my emergency brake on light. Then driving down the interstate it will all of the sudden go off, then later it will come on again. Anyone experienced this?????

Check the Master cylinder fluid level...probably a bit low. You might want to check your brake pads ...esp the front pads for wear......

Thanks I will check it out. If I can't find the immediate problem, I will take it in. I need to take it in for the recall anyway. Thanks!

Think this is related to that sticking/stiff brake handle boot problem others have noticed (even though that is usually a winter problem)?

i had the same problem, but all it is, is that the pads are low which causing the brake fluid to be low and set the sensor off. So get new brake pads
