I notice under heavy acceleration that near the top of the RPM range, the red "Brake" light comes on the dash. After the car shifts, the light goes away. What does this red Brake light mean? I would have to assume something to do with the E-Brake, but why does it light up in this situation? Keep in mind I have a 2007 G35x with auto. Thanks!

 

According to the manual...

If the light comes on while the ignition switch is on and the parking brake is not applied(this is your case), check the brake fluid level.
If the level is correct, contact the dealer for further assistance.

Check the fluid level.. you could be just slightly low.

 

+1 - that would be my guess.

 

as your brake pads wear out, the fluid reservoir level goes down little by little. low pads, low fluid (since the caliper is extended more thanks to less pad material).

add fluid, get your pads looked at. you're probably fine

 

Very true.
I'm constantly checking fluid levels and tire pressure.

My wife's Acura MDX needed brakes.
As I returned the caliper pistons to their original position, the stupid fluid reservoir overflowed. I had to suck extra fluid out to avoid one heck of a mess.
That's the downside to filling the reservoir as pads wear... unless you don't do your own brake jobs.
Then it's the mechanic's problem.

 

Negative, if the mechanic messes something up, it's my car and possibly my life at stake. Do your own brakes, it's cheaper and you'll know it's done right.

 

No, no, no... what I'm saying it that the extra fluid just makes a mess.
I don't like messes.
If the excess fluid makes a mess on the mechanic's floor, I don't care too much.
That's all I was sayin'

 

Note that brake fluid eats paint - you do NOT want to get it on painted surfaces!

 

i had the same problem, add the fluid and you will be fine.

 

Right on, I get what you're saying, but still you gotta imagine these guys at Brakes Plus or Firestone or wherever can't possibly give a $hit about your car as much as you do.

 

I was changing the brake lines on my old Maxima years ago with a buddy and he splashed a couple drops of brake fluid on my fender and I was like "OH MY GOD YOU JUST EFFED UP MY CAR!@!!!one!!1". We wiped it off with a damp cloth within 20 seconds and it was fine. You gotta be careful though, if you don't see it and it stays on the paint you'll definitely be sorry.
