Brake lights stay on while driving and go off once brake pedal is pushed. This was a recall done several years ago but in 2019 we are having the same issue after the recall was previously performed. Additionally, I have had this problem repeatedly since I bought the vehicle in 2011, and it has been repaired multiple times and by mechanics other than the recall. The most recent repair was in november of 2019. Yesterday, the problem returned (if it had ever gone away to begin with.) the mechanics are trying their best to get to the bottom of the problem; however, the best I have ever gotten is about 8 months without noticing any issues. When you buy a car--new or used--you expect the break lights to work as they are designed to work for the life of the vehicle. Nobody buys a car expecting to have to deal with the uncertainty of not knowing whether your car is actually alerting drivers that you are stopping when you are in busy traffic.
