My car did the same thing. If it is not the brake fluid, it could be the emergency brake. It gets loose and under hard acceleration it comes up enough to turn the light on. I had mine adjusted about a year and a half ago and it solved the problem. It feels like it is getting a little loose again already.

Not a real suggestion, but I had this problem and it ended up being my brake pads.
I agree with the others, check the e-brake first. There was a good post about this about a week or two ago:

Remove center console section around brake lever and ashtray. Plastic serrated clips hold it in place to the base. Work evenly from front to back around the edge with a wide putty knife or interior trim removal tool so you don't snap the clips off. Brake adjusting nut is accessable once you get the panel out of the way. Loosen nut to loosen brake, tighten nut to tighten brake. Check to make sure your parking brake warning light is off when brake is released and on when brake is applied.
