Brake lights stuck on (Ford CMax)

Hi
Has anyone any idea why my brake lights come on as soon as I start the car but only seems to be when temp is -2 or less? This has happened on 2 seperate days over the last 2 weeks but seemed to resolve itself but has happened again today.
It is Ford Cmax 1.6 zetec petrol 60 plate so still under warranty until September 2013 - would it be a warranty issue?
Any advice gratefully received! (Only bought it 6 weeks ago!)

Start by doing what's necessary, then what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

Brake pedal switch, probably damp and corroded, freezes in place during very cold weather. There's not a lot else it could be.....“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

If it's over 3 years old, you'll have to pay for it.0
