Ford Escort Ford Escort ZX2 is a hot-looking compact coupe with a rakish design. Yet its handsome interior reveals a roomy back seat and surprisingly large trunk. ZX2 provides responsive handling and good road manners and its engine delivers decent power. At the same time, the ZX2 is a practical car, with plenty of room in the back seats for friends.

Smile 1996 1.9L engine, brake light comes on and off
I have a 1996 Ford Escort, 1.9L engine and the brake light comes on and goes off. What does this mean. Do I need to add brake fluid or is it something more serious.

Please help?
