when i drive normally not getting on it at all the parking break vibrates extremely loud and when i stomp on it at all in any gear the parking brake light comes on. i press the button over and over until it goes away but sometimes it will take bout 2 min of driving to go away......this ever happen to anyone else?

Your brake fluid is low.


The BRAKE light has two functions. One is the e-brake, the other is the low fluid sensor.


If it trips when you slosh the car around, it's usually low fluid. That usually means either you have a leak somewhere...or your pads are nearly worn out and will need to be changes soon. The pistons are extended and the fluid has drained to the calipers and out of the resevior.

You can add fluid, but i'd check the brakes.
