#1 of 5 SX4 Brake light by bradmiller May 17, 2008 (4:45 am)
I have put on over 45000 miles already on my 07 SX4 and love this car. I am getting a brake light coming on at various times after releasing the brakes and accelerating. It goes out usually after I stop accelerating or hitting the brakes. It does not come back on after driving about 20 miles. Any one have this problem or know what maybe causing it?

Replying to: bradmiller (May 17, 2008 4:45 am) I just had the exact problem at 7,500 miles, it was caused by low break fluid, it drove me crazy I timed it with my sceduled maintinance, the suzuki tech knew immediatly and they solved it. It was a result of the pads wearing so the fluid level went down, I was advised that if I was to continue to break in the manner that I had been I would need a front break job in 10,000 miles. Time for me to lighten up. I do reccomend that you speak with a suzuki tech.

Replying to: bradmiller (May 17, 2008 4:45 am) Yes, I am having the same trouble I have 40k on my 2007. The brake light comes on when cornering and then goes off. I figured it was probably the brake pads wearing down I have not replaced them yet. And Yes I agree this is a great car averaging 30.6 mpg summer blend and winter blend with awd 26mpg. This car goes anywhere in the snow.

Replying to: bradmiller (May 17, 2008 4:45 am) I'm sure you probally figured it out but your fluid is low if you go around corners or brake or take off too fast your fluid shifts and causes your light to go off.. even if its only a little bit low..
