Volkswagen Passat Brakes Problem
Just drove around doing errands, meaning frequate stops so turning car on and off a lot. It is an automatic. Did feel at one point it was starting to lose power during drive. Now at home parked, turned off, lights off and keys out. The brake lights won't shut off? Where can I begin to look to solve this problem?

The brakes may be sticking on for some reason. Have the brakes checked by a repair shop. You can do a quick check by jacking up each wheel and making sure that it moves freely. Otherwise you may have 2 other issues related to engine performane and the brake light switch.
