Break light on then VDC off with a car and squiggly lines appears on dash

So I'm trying to do some 0-60 runs and boom as I'm accelerating my break light on the dash shows up, so I slow down check the break pedal (I have a auto) but the break pedal is fine not stuck and no free play, so I go again and the same thing happens but this time I ignore it and hit a little over 60 in 3rd and then the break light goes away but is followed by a car with squiggly lines and a VDC off on my dash board. I come to stop and try to press the VDC button on and off but it does nothing. I turn my car off then on again then the VDC and the car goes away. I checked my break fluid it's good. Any idea why this is happening? Thanks guys!

Your brake fluid is low but not below the light sensor. When you get on the gas your fluid shifts and goes below the low level which triggers your light. When you slow down it sloshes back and the light goes away... could be the battery connector to .

Is the "slip" light on too?

According to the manual, if the VDC OFF and SLIP lights illuminate constantly while the car is running, there may be problem with the VDC system and it is operating in "fail-safe mode."

It's the VDC giving you a warning that you brakepads are low. I had this exact issue, changing brakepads fixed it.

This...............Its happens in all cars when you are a bit low on fluid and hit the gas or get on a good incline.

It's certainly an easy thing to check (and correct!)...
