ABS and E-brake light turn on at a stop light

This seems wierd seeing this is only my 5th day with this car. Today at a stop light I moved to the center of the intersection to make a left turn. So I waited there because there was a lot of oncoming cars on the opposite lane. Right when the yellow light turns on I intiate to get ready to turn so on the clutch i get off and little gas i add then the car all of a sudden stop moving and the E-brake and ABS light turned and also I believe the voltage light might of turned on too as one of the 3rd light that turn on. I was like wtf but the funny thing was the Engine didn't stall it was still at 750 rpm.

So I panic a bit seeing that i was blocking the Intersection and I was trying to turn the key to start the car again while it's still on stupid me. Well the next thing I do is pull the E-brake up and down and that seemed to turn the lights off. But of corse knowing me to be very causious even if all the lights turn off, I turn the engine off and restart and got it to go afterwards.

Does anyone know a answer to why the ABS and E-brake lights turn on out of know where when I was even on the brakes at all?

check your brake fluid level. other than that, if your battery/alternator isnt putting out the right voltage, that would cause the lights to come on. Sounds weird I know, but it is true.

This car is only 5 days old, and it's factory new, wouldn't think I would run into these kind of problems so soon. I was never hard on the car besides stalling it a lot on the first 3 days of driving it.

parts fail. new or not. That is why there is a warranty. Take it back and have them look at it, could be something as simple as a loose connection somewhere.

I'll have them check it if it comes up again one more time. It only happened once so far might of been a small glitch that came out of nowhere.
