There only has to a problem with the brake lights for a fraction of a second for the light to come on and stay on until the ignition is turned off and back on.
Get someone to follow you while you are driving to see if they are behaving themselves.

Had this problem before as well, cleaned all the contacts, in the end I changed the bulbs even though they worked ok, never had a problem since.

There are at least three different versions of the rear cluster lamp holders.
On one version, the circuitry and lamp holder contacts are made from solid round wire. Eventually these wires wear such a deep groove into the solder bases of the lamps, that electrical contact is lost.
