   Problem with the braking system. type in the search box on here, dashboard lights, i swear the handbrake cable means faulty brake system.

   as said be low brake fluid why are you getting your brake re bleed if ur pedals not right and ur fluid is low will more than likely be down to worn pads maybe disk
