    Noob question.
    Did anyone get a "brake fluid low" warning before? My toaster is close to a year old, and only 6500 miles. Is it normal to get that warning so early? Leak somewhere perhaps? Haven't seen stains on the floor. Should I spend some time at the dealer or just get brake fluid at auto store and top it off? Thx for the help in advance.

    Well me personally I carry every fluid my car ever needs. But my 2015 has 15000 miles with no brake fluid warning so you might need to take a look at the lines to make sure all is well

    Warning at 6500 miles seems to be very, very early. It would be worth a check to see if there is a problem.

    I'll bring it to the dealer to check. It only happens when driving uphill.

    What's the level in the reservoir? Is it actually low or is it possibly an erroneous warning?

    If it's truly low, I'd suggest topping it off with the proper fluid if you can't get to a dealer PDQ.
