Default 2009 RX350 Brake light on dash randomly comes on

My dad said his 2009 RX350, he noticed that the brake light on the dash randomly comes on and off sometimes now.

I've read that a lot of the earlier models had an issue with the brake light switch that was causing the VSC, brake, and ABS lights to come on, but in his case it is only the brake light alone that is lighting up.

Any ideas?

I will be taking a look at his car on my day off, anything I should be looking for?

That's a pretty universal sign on any car that the brake fluid is low in the reservoir. Check that first...
