Very strange. Every time I take a sharp turn, the e-brake light comes in on my dash, and takes a while to turn off. Is it possible the ebrake is rubbing when I turn, or is the ECU / dash just messed up?

How could I fix it?

Nick.

the brake light is not just for the e-brake, its also for your brake fluid level. check it, i bet its low.

Yea, it's probably extremely low, and is sploshing around in there when you take turns.
