failsafe/cruise control
#1

Yesterday, while driving, my rear lights message came on while stopping. As soon as I took off (foot off the brake) the message went away. It did this twice before I got on the Interstate. After reaching my desired speed, I engaged the cruise. Within less than a minute, the failsafe light came on and the cruise disengaged. The light on the console was out. This didn't affect anything - ran as usual. Upon stopping, I shut the car off and restarted. The failsafe light was off and cruise control light was back on. I tried the cruise again on the way home and it repeated the problem again. Reading posts, I'm wondering if it may be the brake light switch. I would appreciate a response from anyone familiar with this scenario. By the way, rear lights message did not come on again after the two times.
As always, thanking everyone who posts !

^ +1 likely the brake pedal switch. I had the same problem. I sprayed a light amount of WD-40 (should use electrical contact cleaner) on the part that contacts the brake pedal to fix it. I did not need to replace or open the brake switch.
As the switch is difficult to replace try spraying it first
