Brake Light Problems of Toyota Camry Hybrid

As I was backing up the brakes went soft to the floor and then all of sudden engaged. A few days later my brake light, traction control, and abs light turned on and check vsc system was displayed.

I have noticed that the rear brake light is not turned on when I place my foot on brake pedal. In order to turn on the light, I had to push little more than I used to do on the other non-hybrid car. Because this vehicle has regenerative brake system, it activates whenever my foot is off from gas pedal, and starts to slow down. On the other non-hybrid vehicle, the light is turned on as soon as I touch the brake pedal, however, on this hybrid vehicle, I have to push more to turn it on. Even I can stop this car without turning on the brake lights. I asked the dealer about this issue, but they told me it is with in normal range. But I feel this is very serious safety issue. For instance, a following driver behind this vehicle may not be able to notice that it is slowing down because brake lights are not on, but actually the car is stopping. Please review this issue and compare to other hybrid vehicle with regenerative brake system.
