Third brake light works when it wants to. This has been going on for some time, maybe since my wife bought the car. I was watching her leave for work when I saw the brake lights come on at end of driveway but not the third brake light. I started checking this, sometimes the light works fine other times it does not work. I checked the computer for this problem, seems to be a common problem I've checked connections and so on with no results any help or advice would be appreciated thanks, John call me or message @530-218-2003

A major safety hazardous problem that GM refused to pay for the repair even there is a Recall issued.
I own a 2009 Malibu, with 110,000 Km, The brake lights came on by itself all the time.
Received a Recall from GM to fix same problem. Dealer followed the Recall repair instruction but failed to fix after several visits. Said I need a new body control module for $800 which is not paid for by the Recall.
I called GM who had said It is my problem, refused to pay for a new body control module.
I am really upset, don't know what to do? Cannot drive the car on the road due to safety hazard concerns ....I feel like crying......I need the car to work......
