1 Brake Light problem

Failure Date: 07/17/2016

The brake lights remain on everytime I drive. They are intermittent. They will stay on for long periods of time and then they will turn off only to come back again. I have gone to chevy dealers, pepboys, and local mechanics and no one has been able to fix or solve the issue permanently. They have "fixed" the brake sensors, reprogrammed the car, and have done some other things, yet no one can fix the issue. What a horrible company this problem has been happening for over 3 1/2 years.

2 Brake Light problem

Failure Date: 09/15/2012

I notice as I was driving that my brake lightes would stay on when I am not pushing on the brake. It does not matter the speed that I am going. But when I do push on the brakes the lights go off, which I dont think should be happening since the driver behind me will not know that I am stopping. This is something that I dont think this should be happening on a car that was 2 years old at the time this started. I have been told by my dealership that other customer have complained about the same issue.
