Your brakes could fail, depending on the severity of the problem. Should get it check out asap, brakes and tires are the most important things, and problems shouldn't be taken lightly. I had an experience when this happened, was test driving a car that the customer said brake light was on, fluid a little low, test drove and the master cylinder gave out and almost couldn't stop the car, had to downshift and use the e-brake to avoid an accident.
