3 Brake Light problem

Failure Date: 10/05/2007

My Honda crv ex 2003 brakes lights fail. The only light for braking is the third light. This has occurred 3 or 4 times in the past 4 years and happened again this week. I am afraid I will be in an accident because someone will not notice the third light when I brake. The dealer has replaced the bulbs but the issue continues. This last time the bulbs did not last 5,000 miles.
