If you are not good with working on cars, Bring it right down to a repair shop.Do not wait.
Any car repair shop that does tires or breaks or any work should be able to help you out.
Have it checked out, if you have fluid leakage or no breaks or sometime of grease oil on breaks, you can get into trouble driving.
Very bad.

Have you topped up your brake fluid ? Just a thought. Checked oil level?

How does the Brake Fluid Level Look? You need to get the Brake System Bled and Could also need to Replace your Pads.

SOURCE: I have a 1999 ram 4x4...the brake and abs lights

Brake light probably means that either your pads are low (if your truck has wear sensors in the pads) or that you have a brake/taillight bulb out. The ABS light is because either you have an ABS/wheelspeed sensor that's gone bad or the ABS actuator is bad. That should be able to be cleared up with a scan of the car's computer. If the module is bad, it's usually very expensive to buy one. Check out www.modulemaster.com - many of the guys in the Audi world that I know have had ABS modules rebuilt for $200 or less, and returned within a couple days, with a warranty. They have a great reputation.

Your Problem is most likely your multifunction switch. This switch is on your steering column and operates the bright and dim headlights, turn signals, hazards and wipers and wash. You will have to remove the cover around the steering column to get to it and replace it. Feel free to contact me for more info if you need help doing this. I will do my best to respond right away.

The "brake" light and a solid red light comes on when hitting the brake pedal hard

How do the brakes feel? Mushy? Hard? It could be a brake failure. Check the brake fluid level. Is it the correct amount? Take it some place where the shop will check your brakes for free and get another opinion.

Mushy brakes on 2008 Chevy 4wheel drive pickup

mushy brakes can be from air in the system or weak rubber brake lines expanding under pressure. I would try bleeding the brakes starting at the longest line first

Brakes mush to the floor at times. Some times

May be air in the brake lines.
Bleed the brakes. Most brake shops do a lousy job. If you have it done make sure they test drive the car before you pay. If the brakes are still mushy, take it back and make them do it right or get your money back (all of it).
Very difficult to do by yourself, you will need an assistant if you haven't done it before.
Yes, there are one-man bleeders, not for first-timers.
