    Maybe take the car’s advice: visit dealer. There should be codes, and you don’t want to mess around with something like this.

    Check your brake fluid level. You may need new brake pads.

    Was anything plugged into OBD port by the way? I’ve had somewhat similar, when I had a Scangauge constantly connected; it was apparently weighing on the connection, causing a communication error.
