1 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 08/23/2019

Tamara recall: my car has the push button start and I just recently purchased it with 50,000 miles on it. It used to only happen every once in a while and as of yesterday it happens every single time I try to turn on my car. I push the brake and push the button and everything will light up but the car won't turn on. Then the push brake light comes on and push start button comes on and I try it again but this time the brake is really hard to push down and doesn't allow me to push it in far enough to be able to actually start it. After continuously pushing the brake and this button and disconnecting the battery and jiggling the brake for like 10 minutes I might finally get it to come on if I'm lucky. I've seen online a lot of people have had this issue but nothing tells me how I can go about fixing it.

2 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2019

While stationary, vehicle will not start when trying to start vehicle with push start there are also no brake lights when brakes are applied. Periodically the abs light will turn on, while driving on multiple types of roads, for no reason and will not turn off until car is turned off and restarted. This began approximately 1 year again in 2019 and has continually gotten worse and won't start daily. Dealership told me my car is no longer under warranty and therefore would be an out of pocket expense. At the time the issue began my car was only 2 years old. There are numerous complaints online regarding the same issue with other car owners, how is this not a recall issue already???.

3 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2019

Brake pedal sensor is defective, it interemittently detects the brake pedal being pressed and allows the car to start. Sometimes the brake pedal will go completely to the floor and sometimes it woll not activate at all. Sometimes the brake light will not go out and the car will not start. Sometimes if I pump the brake pedal the light will go out and the car will start. Sometimes if I have the door open and press the pedal the car will start=, sometimes there is no problem at all.
