...turn off when I tap the brake? The brake lights turn on and stay on when accelerating until I tap the brakes. I have to hit the brakes hard for the brake lights to come on when braking. 41,000 miles, 2008 Chevy Malibu.
Look under the dash and see if something is behind the accelerator pedal and in front of the brake pedal that is pushing on the brake and activating the light. If there is, move it and tie it out of the way. You may need to adjust your brake light switch.
