sorry you feel about getting ripped off is it a bright light like brakes or dimmer? try pulling fuse 32 in underhood fuse box and see if it goes out. that would mean it 's the parking /tail light. if it stays on then try disconnecting brakelight failure sensor in lh side of trunk if none of those fix it then you have wires touching someplace causing your lights to stay on or a bad bulb which could be front or back

Are you sure the brake light switch is adjusted properly?
