yeah, i get a mystery chime once in a while as well. got one today actually. started the car and started to pull out, and it chimed once. nothing on the cluster displaying anything, nothing was at all abnormal... just a chime. perhaps the car was just trying to tell me it dosent like the winter steelies i put on her

Why doesn't our brake light flash or come on then? Thats a weird way of notifying owners that the car has low brake fluid. I'll top it off though and see if it goes away. Thanks PSI.

ahh, as far as that goes. if your fluid is low, it will ding and the 'brake' light on the cluster comes on. it will start at first under heavy accelearation, as all the fluid moves in the resivor, away from the sensor. i noticed that after having the car for a bit. gave it hard throttle and the 'brake' light chimed (parking brake indicator).

Just an update, I checked my brake fluid and I WAS low.........there are no spots on the garage floor to point to a leak. I'm going to have the dealer check it out.....

yeah, brake fluid... just like the coolant, has a funny way of just 'dissapearing'
btw, if daphnie was a chick in real life... she would be hot. actually she is hot as a cartoon character, if that makes any sense?

Thats not so bad, my car will lock itself for no apparent reason. It will regularly lock itself with me not in the car. Usually letting the car cool down, come back a minute or two later and locked. Very, very strange....now I roll the window down before leaving the car.

Hmmmm....I wonder what will be next, maybe flying saucers landing on the white house lawn! Na...but it would be nice.
I would be taking my car to the dealer if it did that door lock thing though![&:]
