I have noticed some weird electrical behavior with my X5 which could potentially get me into a serious accident some day. Sometimes, not always the brake lights will come on when I put the key in the ignition and turn to position 1.
All three brake lights shine on and stay on, pressing the brake pedal will do nothing, if I turn the car on the brake lights stay on

The only way to correct this is take the key out and put it back in. I checked all my connections/contacts and everything is perfect.
It sucks having to get out every time I want to drive my X5 and check to see if the brake lights are on. Look like a tool with my brake lights on and people think I'm riding the brakes
Help me Obi Wan Kenobi your my only hope!
