So....is there something wrong with my ebrake mechanism?

You may also want to take it in to the dealer and have them check the e-brake mount. My e-brake light started staying on after startup even though the brake handle was all the way down. Sometimes the light would go off after doing a restart and sometimes it wouldn't. After a week I started to hear a very slight tin-sounding clang. Eventually over time it started to get louder particularly when turning the wheel. When I took it in to the service dealer it turned out that the e-brake mount had partially broke one of its mounting points. They replaced the mount under warranty and never had the e-brake light problem since.
Just another possibility other than low brake fluid ..... |
