Consumer Description

BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON BY THEMSELVES AND GO OUT WHEN PEDAL IS PUSHED. TRIED NEW SWITCH, CALIBRATION, AND TSB PROCEDURE. PROBLEM WILL GO AWAY FOR A MONTH OR TWO THEN RETURN. HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB. I HAVE SEEN OTHER CARS DRIVE BY WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. MAY WORK FINE IN THE MORNING THEN ACT UP IN THE EVENING. ALSO IMPACTS THE SIFT INTERLOCK AND CRUISE CONTROL. THE OTHER DAY THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT DISENGAGE WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. I HAD TO TURN IT OFF BY THE SWITCH ON THE STEERING WHEEL. *TR
