I'm guessing there's some kind of switch on your brake pedal that is bad so it isn't sensing that you are pressing the brake.

Brake switch gone. Auto zone sells the switch and can give you a download on directions

Not sure if the probs are linked, they could be though. I recently had the brake lights stick on and I just had to find the brake light switch and push it in cause someone must of kicked it when they got out
