Uh, anytime you can brake without the lights coming on, its DEFINITELY a problem. Just think of all those people eating food, talking on phones, tieing neck ties, putting on makup etc that cant stop in time even when the lights DO come on.

I have GSR. You can get it fixed at dealer/shop or do it yourself. There is a brake light switch engaged by the pedal under the instrument panel. I think mine is blue. Its easy to find. The thing is threaded, so I think you can just move it in/out a bit. Or you can adjust the brake pedal itself maybe. IDK...i didnt feel like messing with it so I took it to the dealer. It was fixed in like an hour.

Also, is it just me or does the 3rd gear seem a bit crunchy when shifting from 2nd to 3rd? even shifting as slow as possible?

I hit 1100 miles in the first week of owning this car. i'm still on stock clutch and it's running as strong as ever.

3-4 clutch burnups and still on stock clutch? i dont get it?

I have a new problem as of today. My driver side window shakes when its partially open... like 7/8th closed, only at high speeds. I just noticed today because it was warm out and I had the windows down. Anyone else have this problem? My passenger side does not do it.
