This feels like the car behind me tapped my rear. Could this be a drive shaft issue? It doesn't happen every time I brake.

sounds like a pinion gear ( rear end ) or driveline U joints,
you do not say how many miles on it, 150K get it in for U joint replacement and they can check pinion gear,

Many cars and trucks have this phenomena, while I am not swearing that you also have it..let's do the simple things first. Yes, it could be a u-joint, but usually you have other issues with vibration at speed. Pull the drive shaft and put grease on the splines of the shaft on the inside of the yoke going into the transmission or transfer case,,whichever you have. While not a perminate fix it might stop it. What you get is a very slight wrap of the rear axle, and very slight with track locater linkage as you have on the rear axle. You then get the yoke to stick in the output shaft during braking and the final stop. When let go of the brakes, it unwraps slightly and makes a bump feel as you descibe as the tension on the splines is releaseed.. Greasing the splines will work until the ATF washes the grease away. If this fixes it,,do not worry about it. Will not hurt anything.
Good Luck

The stop go sensation is either the ABS pulsating because the vehicle thinks it is sliding or something could be loose or warped brake rotors. As far as the light, it could be a number of things. It would come on not only for parking brake issues but brake issues as well. Your best bet is to take it to have a licensed mechanic take a look at it because I could give you dozens of reasons it "could" have turned on.

The 2000 WJ's were famous for this problem. You could replace everything in the drivetrain & you'd still have the "clunk". My wife's 2000 WJ does the same thing. It's just the driveline releasing torque.

sounds like a bad u joint in the drive line, They should be checked and replaced. Other possibles are ring and pinion gear, but that would be my second choice after the u joints.

CHECK YOUR MOTOR MOUNTS. THEY ARE USUALLY ON THE SIDE AND FRONT OF THE ENGINE.
