My brake lights come on with out me even touching the brake peddle. I have replaced the brake light switch 4 times already. With one of them being today. On my way home tonight the brake lights came back on. After doing some research it seems like I'm not the only one with this problem. I'm afraid that this is going to cause an accident . When I step on the brake peddle the lights go out. So if I had to stop quick the car behind me might not know that I'm stopping and hit me. Is there a recall on this issue?
