My brake lights stay on once pressed and will only go off if I hit the rear quarter panel or open and slam the rear cargo door shut. Once off it goes to constant on again as soon as the brake pedal is touched. All other indicators work including signal, hazard, running lights and reverse. What am I supposed to look for on this.

This will normally be a faulty brake light switch on the top of the brake pedal, the vibration from all that crashing and bashing is vibrating the car and knocking the switch off, check this out.
