ya .. just lately like my brake light has been coming on and staying for a while then going away .. also when i make a right or left turn the light tends to turn on then disappear .. i dont know if this is a problem i should be worried about or not. any suggestions?

do you mean the warning light on the dash?

Low brake fluid. If near 40-50k miles check condition of pads.

yes the warning light on the dash and im already past 50k replaced the pads a while but not too long ago .. any more suggestions?

If the fluid is o.k.... I heard there have been problems with the E-brake switch (loose ??) and causes the light to come on. I would look there next.

You said the pads were replaced not too long ago. I'd check if the sensor wires were installed properly if your car has these. They could come in contact with the metals and complete the circuit, hence the intermittent warning light.
