Brake lights won’t come on unless I’m pressing the brake through the floor board. How much is this repair or is there a recall

Your brake light switch on the pedal support needs adjustment. It takes about a minute unless the lower panel needs to come out so 10 minutes. It is important to get this fixed.

If the switch needs to be replaced, the part runs $16 and one-half hour labor. Problems with the brake light circuit can cause other weird symptoms, like w/the cruise control, etc, so good idea to get it repaired asap.
