    To both of you. Buy a new brake light switch and change it out. I had this happen to me a few times with my B7 S4. After replacing the brake light switch, the issue hasn't come back. Forgot the cost but it wasn't bad, i bought mine from the dealer.

    I would check the brake pedal switch first... if it is hanging it would cause your problem

    Crap too slow , sorry,

    Brake switch;

    Behind and slightly above the brake pedal. When you push the brake, you push the pin. I guess the pin gets stuck or something.

    Here is a DIY:
