your fluid level is probably just low enough that when the front of the car lifts on acceleration it sets off the low fluid sensor, then when it levels out fluid covers it and the sensor goes off.
mine does this alot.
if youre brake pads arent shot (the only time fluid SHOULD go down is when your pads wear away, the low fluid level is supposed to be a sign to change your pads) you have a fluid leak.
probably your ABS pump or master cylinder.

Obviously
so yeah, what they said, brake fluid just doesnt go low, its either leaking
or the brake pads are low.
