1 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 10/02/2013

Periodically the brake,abs,vsc, and low pressure light blinks while driving , as soon as the key is turned off then back on the warning lights disappear. Trouble code scanned c 1249, and c 1223 open circuit in stop light switch or abs control fault error. Oxide grease residue on electrical contact points make the brake light switch susceptible to failure. Toyota Lexus had a recall that only covered certain dates while the problem brake light switch failures continued in newer models. Lexus refuses to fix older models saying the problem was fixed after late 2004, which as we all know now is not correct. I would like Lexus /Toyota to replace my brake light switch at no expense to me since it was a assembly error on their part.
