my 2002 kia sportage 4 wheel drive 4 cyc with 109,000 miles
when i backed up today it stopped and acted like i hit something. the brake light came on and i added dot 3 and it seemed fine, could that make it do something like that?
thanks

How low was the fluid? May have broken brake parts and need to inspect all of them,

Alone that shouldn't have made any difference. Still gotta look at each brake. Rare but when/if pads are very low the calipers can't handle it and I've seen them jam up crooked.

Not sure how back brakes and what the parking brake style is so still need to inspect it.

Problem may have nothing to do with brakes either but some other odd problem I really can't think of at the moment but start ruling things out. Need your eyes and observations and we can make some guess as to how that could happen,
