Kissed the curb this morning

I grazed the curb this morning and aside from the rim rash (FU$%#$%, Coc$#$%$, bas%##$#), I did not think of it as a problem. Except when I look down and see the SLIP, VDC OFF, and BRAKE lights on on the dash. Restarted the car and the same. Jumped on the brake at and intersection once, and the brake lights went out. came back on immediately.

Please help.

thx g

Curbs....Bad News!

With the OEM wheels you gotta watch out for curbs and be careful. With
aftermarket wheels it's a sin to even get close. I use my mirrors like a preacher uses his bible....Holy crap there's a curb!
