I think you have a faulty break switch. It is an easy fix and you can get the break light switch for about $15 from the dealer. There are about 4 screws holding the panel in front of the drivers knees. Remove this panel to gain access to the switch. On the switch there is a little retaining clip that must be pressed then turn the switch to remove it. You will be out and in no time at all.
