My e-brake light started randomly turning on while driving a week or two ago, so I had the dealer look at it while getting my oil changed over the weekend. Mileage is just a tick over 22k.
They told me that it was probably because my pads are low (2-3mm) and that some fluid might be leaking. Of course, they also pushed me for a brake job on the spot.
I'm not surprised they tried to sell me on the brake service (especially with how these cars eat them), but does this sound reasonable to anybody?
I'm no mechanic, but I've never heard of low pads triggering the handbrake light, so their answer was about a 5 on my bullshit-o-meter.
