since i have gotten my car in july, my e-brake light has been coming on and off at random points when i am driving. i never really acknowleged it. just over the weekend i made a trip to niagara falls and the roads there were very bumpy and there were many pot holes. when i was driving home, i noticed a thumping sound when i was going about 50-60 mph and every time i tilted my steering wheel to the right, or made a right turn, it sounded like something was scraping either in my wheel wall or under my car. if any of you know what it could be, please dont hesitate to comment back. thanks

take off your wheels one at a time and inspect everything under there, make sure something didnt come loose.

The brake light is also an indicator of low brake fluid, check to make sure it is above the min line.
