Default Brake lights remain on at all times?

I have a 2004 Chrysler Crossfire. Recently I just noticed that my rear brake lights remain on as if I was pressing the pedal. Does anyone know if this is a common issue? I am hesitant on bringing it to a dealer due to the fact I must pay a $100 deductible no matter what. I am hoping its a simple sensor swap perhaps. If you could help me out with any information I would truly be grateful, thank you.

The only time I have seen this is when I installed a piar of LED bulbs and they caused this to happen. My advice, for $5, go buy the bulbs for the rear you know are correct and install them, see if it helps. If not, you are only out $5 and you have new bulbs.

Just my 0.02

I would look at the brake light switch attached to the brake pedal.
Failing that, try the relay that the brake light switch operates. This is in the fuse box under the hood.

Thanks so much for the responses. I actually had the rear tail light changed not too long ago. This might have something to do with it. I will look into both suggestions and post back up findings. Thanks again.
