There is a switch connected to the e-brake, its loose, bad or needs adjustment. Remove the cover its an easy fix or might be covered under warranty. It could be your pads, how many miles do you have?

I had the exact same thing happen. The light came on right after going around a corner fast. The light stayed on intermittently for about a week. It turns out I need new pads. After new pads installed the light went away for good.

>Check your pads.
