So my brake light comes on, the one on the dash that comes on when you push in your e brake. Its just kinda weird that it flashes on and then off when i push the gas down and the front lifts up and butt drops down.

Any idea what causes this? does it mean my brakes are gonna go out on me while i drive? Or is it my e brake is coming on? Maybe the cable needs adjusted?
 






Your brake fluid level has dropped. That light will come on when the fluid is even slightly low and sloshes under accel and decel. It would be a good idea to have your brakes checked too. The dropping fluid level over time can be caused by wear to the brake pads/shoes.
 












Yeo That Was

Ok... I you all

i check the fluid level, was low, put some more and voila! the e - brake ligth mistery was solved
