So, this has now happened at least four times to me intermittently.
I shutdown the car, exit, and then notice that the brake lights are still on! All it takes to fix it is to tap the brake pedal ever so slightly and the lights turn off.
I took it to the dealer and they tried to reproduce a few times, checked for TSBs and then told me there is nothing they can do. I even had a video of the problem. Not happy about the dealership's effort on this one - normally they are great, but this time, not so much.
Anyone else have this issue?
Anyone have any idea what could cause this? I'm guessing it's just a faulty switch or something that needs a bit of grease, but I honestly have no clue as I'm not a car "guy."
It's not a serious problem right now, but I'm afraid I'm not going to notice it and the battery is going to die.
