    I was coming to a stop at a red light when i felt a shudder. at first i thought it was just the ICE shutting down, but when i looked at the dash, the "brake" indicator was on, and so were the VSC, ABS, and the (!) indicators. They were on during my trip home but i could feel that it was just mainly the mechanical brakes that were functioning, i didnt get the "engine brake" feel we'd get when lightly stepping on the brakes coming to a stop.

    When i got home i did a restart, and everything was back to normal. If it happens again i'll bring it in. :?

    I would not drive the car anywhere except directly to the dealer with those lights showing, even intermittently. A code was probably stored that will tell them what happened.

    was the (!) light yellow? If so, take it to the dealer asap.
