Mine does the same thing, with the brakes pressed or with the turn signals on. I took it in and they told me my battery failed a load test so they replaced it. This still didn't fix the problem so I brought it back in again today. Hopefully they will tell me something different tomorrow.

Common issue with 10 and 11, don't know about 12.

I think it's perfectly normal. My issue was my surging idle that turned out to be a header leak.

Noticed tonight I was at a stop light and in my rear view mirror I could see the bright glow of the third brake light. I looked away then glanced back a minute late and noticed it wasn't glowing so I got home and had a friend sit in the car and hold the brake. Sure enough the bright glow came back on but then after a few minutes it dimmed itself but all the little lights were still on just not as bright. Is this normal or something wrong?
