Classic signs of alternator failure..... Have charging system tested if you want further closure. Doubtful any other problems associated with this. Make sure battery has full charge
check your alternator is giving out about 14 volts if no .check the brushes held on with two bolt behind your alternator as may be worn .or change the alternator.
check brake globes are ok could be filament broken that is touching and then not touching inside the globe. Also check brake fluid level in reservoir in engine bay . Could be low brake fluid may have a problem with the brake master cylinder .
The longer you drive with the shuddering the more damage you do to the rotors, most likely they will need replaced at this point. I wouldn't wait to terribly long. they may still be able to be turned and new brakes installed to fix it. They need to reset the codes after the repair though to clear the light. Hope this helps you out.
Try pulling your brake pedal up and see if that causes the brake lights to turn off. The problem is most likely a bad brake switch that fits up under your dash and is attached to your pedal, it may not be releasing right and causing your lights to stay on. Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes and I will see if I can help some more if needed...
I thought this was free support. Apparently I was wrong. How did I fix it? Easy, I broke down on the freeway and got towed home on a flatbed! That was easy!!
