E brake light coming on

kalkat102

had the same issue. got it checked at the dealer and it was the brake fluid. Mechanic said it was low and dirty. Got it flushed and topped off for about $120. They said to do it about every 10K not sure about that though

LOL 10K miles. Even the owner's manual says 2 years or 30K miles. I like to do mine at one year or 15K miles. But I DIY and it costs me <$40 plus about 90 minutes of my time.

How old was your brake fluid at the time? If they're telling you to use a 10K change interval, I bet your fluid was perfectly fine. A flush for $120 is much better profit margin than them just topping off the fluid for free

And that's why we refer to them as "stealerships" instead of dealerships. Maybe it was a bit low, that's understandable. Maybe was a bit dirty, (brake fluid will turn dark in color and that is not a sign of "dirty"). $160, anyone could have done it for a fraction of that. Every 10k miles.....they are pulling your leg and a few $100's out of your wallet in between.
