If you do a search you'll find lots of info about this, it's fairly common.
Usual cause is the brake light switch, sometimes it can be cured by adjustment (don't ask me how, it was under warranty) but a new switch won't break the bank.

Mine did that a couple of times and thought no more about it.I Went to use the hill descent last week and it never worked, is it all related ? and will a new brake light switch cure that as well ?

A common problem is the wire from the gear leaver snapping as a result of all the flexing.
