Brake lights coming on by themselves
Has anyone experienced any problems with the brake lights coming on by themselves? My 2012 has been doing that a couple times today. I've found them on when I looked out.

Sure it isn't a reflection off of something else?

That and it happened to me on other vehicles, not sure if our jeep is designed that way. But usually by the brake pedal itself, there is a rubber grommet that pushes against the brake switch to deactivate the brake light. But when that rubber grommet/stopper is missing there is nothing to push that brake switch in, which allows the brake light to always be on. Worth checking into.....
