Default Reverse Lights

I couldn't find anything on electrical so I thought this would be the best spot for this, if it's not then you can move it to the appropriate spot. My buddy just bought an '07 GT man. with 6K on the clock, a guy at the dealer demoed it for like 3 months. But anyway I have noticed that his reverse lights stay on while he drives, would there be an easy fix to this (I'm pretty mechanically inclined) or would it be a wiring mess? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advanced.

p.s. this forum is really nice and I've been lurking around for sometime now.

Why not take it in under warranty work?

I'd have to agree with Nuke and just take it in under warranty. But if not, is the car equipped with daytime driving lights? If so, it might be something as simple as the bulbs being installed in the wrong slots on the back of the tail lights or the wiring mixed up on the harness. Try a voltmeter or something? Also, what happens when he actually places it in reverse? If the lights go off them maybe the wires are just mixed up.
