brake fluid do you have to add
hi I have a 2014 rt at about 14,000. miles the brake fluid light came on. had to add some fluid. I have never had to add any on a car, so do I have a small leak or is this typical for spyders .

Depends....
All depends on transmission type and rying style. I have 33,000 miles on the oem pads and still within spec's. I have a manual transmission and use the engine compression more than the brakes. The semi auto engines require more brake usage and tend to need new pads sooner than the manuals. As mentioned above you will need to add fluid as the pads wear down. You also need to make sure the caps are repalced correctly or there will be leakage. If others have checked the level you need to recheck the caps.

It all depends on how heavy your right foot is...

Agreed. The brake fluid level sensor is ridiculously way over sensitive.
