My brake lights won-??t go off unless I press the brakes and emergency blinking lights. My vehicle is stalling when I-??m driving. It will just start decreasing speed like it-??s trying to stop and I can only be doing 40mph. I can-??t put in in gear from park if the car is still running. I have to cut it off and turn it back on to change gears and I don-??t have to press the brake for it to come back on.
