[s-cars] brake light 'flash' over bumps...

[Richard Hoffman]

I had the exact same problem and I couldn't track it down for the life of
me.  Eventually I took it in for service and the problem was simply the
level of the brake fluid! It looked fine to me, but they simply topped it
off and the light has not come back.  I know it seems somewhat silly, but I
can't argue with results!
