Brake warning light on dash comes on and stays on. Won't stop dinging unless I'm accelerating hard. What does this even mean? Lol.

Either you're e-brake is engaged (or the sensor thinks it is), or you have some kind of brake failure. Check your brake fluid recently?

if brake fluid in master cylinder is low, check rear brake wheel cylinders for leaks.
