Brake Light and Check Traction Control ?
Hi
I have an 05 4.0L Mustang and whenever I take it on the highway for over 30 miles the brake light comes on and the console flashes Low Fluid then it shuts off the Traction Control then the console flashes Check Traction Control. I let it sit over night and it's fine the next day. I took it to the dealer, after putting the stock program back on (SuperChip High Performance tune), and they still see the codes but they can't find anything wrong with it. Any ideas ? And the brakes do feel fine when this is going on, it only has 1100 miles on it. Thanks in advance.

Always do, I had an issue with them a few weeks ago with my 04 F-150. The next day I was the proud owner of an 06 Silverado
They have two more chances to fix this, if they don't I'll be the proud owned of an 07 Camaro :clap:

I can wait till they release the Camaro, of course my preferance would be to get the Mustang fixed. It's probably some damn sensor.

I bought it to be a high school graduation present for my godson. He's only 8 right now so my plan was to just drive it a little on weekends during the summer. Maybe run it for 2 or 3 thousand miles a year untill then. I just love the looks of them, but that was my main reason for only getting the V6. My sister would kill me if I gave her son a GT with all that horsepower So it really spends most of it's time in my garage with a cover on it. Then after I give this to him my plan was to get a GT for me :clap:

I pay $1000 a year for insurance in Massachusetts a GT would have cost me over $2000. And I'm 44 with a perfect driving record.
