Default Handbrake Light, VDC Off Light, & Slip Light Turning on Randomly while Driving!

Hey guys, a couple times now while driving, I belive after making a sharp turn, my handbrake, VDC Off, and SLIP lights on my guage cluster have come on and stayed on until I turned the engine off. I've also noticed recently that if I brake hard the handbrake light will come on briefly until I let up on the brake. So I'm guessing something is loose. Can anybody steer me in the right direction as to what I should be checking out? Thanks a lot!

Brandon

its your brake fluid level in the resevoir. its getting low. top it off and you should be fine. usually a precursor to needing to get new brakes. but by topping off the resevoir you should be able to buy some time. common problem, easy fix.!!!

i got the same problem but mine does it even before i drive. the brake fluid is a little above the minimum but i'm affraid of just openning up the fluid container just to top it off.

i'm going to get new brakes asap.
