Last night I stopped at a grocery store for 3 minutes and everything was perfectly fine. When I came back and started the car and I got a message on the dash "Check Brake System" have it checked by a dealer or something like this with a yellow exclamation mark.

When I was backing up and for a moment I felt the brake pedal was locked and couldn't be pushed back. I drove normally and arrived home. Parked the car overnight and it was completely normal in the morning (no messages no symptoms no signs of any problem).

Does the description give any hint as to what the problem may be?

curious if you have the parking brake engaged or set to Auto?

JFNash

Yes it's always been set to auto.

Hows your brake fluid level?

Mike: I honestly have no idea.

You think it could be it?

low brake fluid does trigger the brake warning light, check that first

any issues with the electronic brake will throw a light also. you can take it off and see if it needs service, mine did that and it was just lubricating it to solve the problem.
