I had this problem before turn out that i was getting a intermittent brake light due to some slight corrosion on the contacts for the bulb, gave the contacts in the bulb holder a clean with a screw driver and it sorted the problem.

If that doesn't cure it, change the brake light switch and/or adjust the brake pullrod that goes across the car from the pedals to the servo.
