[s-cars] occasional brake light on start and sometimes difficult steering

[Jared Robinson]

So, I was reading some posts about the hydraulic system...
Once in a while (say once every 2-3 weeks) the brake light stays on for 30
seconds or less after starting the car. it normally goes away by the time I
rev the motor...
Also, sometimes when I'm at the end of my trip and pulling into my spot at
the train station, I go to turn the steering wheel from a stop and it's VERY
heavy... almost un-turnable... if I rev the motor, I get plenty of assist
though... It doesn't do it all the time though, sometimes it does it once a
week... sometimes twice.
I saw something about these two problems possibly being related...
It only really started doing it after I put 17" wheels on the car though. I
never noticed it with the 15" snow tires.

What's the story?
