Are you getting a Slip and VDC light as well?

With it being an 11, I'd have it at the dealer...

I get the brake light momentarily until the RPM's go back down. I also get the Slip and VDC lights as well and they stay on until I turn the car off and then back on again. It's really starting to get annoying.

Add brake fluid. I thought I had plenty of fluid, with it being at the seam in the reservoir, but I added some fluid to the full line, and the VDC, SLIP and BRAKE lights all went away under acceleration. If you guys use the search function, you'll see quite a few threads on this issue, pretty common.

Yeah I just noticed that. My transmission was just replaced, wonder if that has something to do with it? regardless I'll get some more in there tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up!

Yeah, I know that the brake fluid is Dot 3 but when I called Infiniti to inquire about the clutch fluid, they said that I'd just have to bring it in. Frankly, I'd prefer to just do it myself and save myself the green for having them just pour some fluid in some reservoirs.

I assume you're still under warranty.... A mechanic should just come out and take care of it for you, I know mine would.

Sadly, the closest Infiniti dealer is 2 hours away. There's a Nissan dealership in town, but they've flat out told me that they will not do any Infiniti warranty work. Oh well, I'll just take her to the Nissan dealer in the morning.

had the same issue with my other infiniti g37x and the problem was the brakes. They had to replace front break pads and change one sensor. Usually if the Vdc and slip or parking break cone on its either Brakes or brake fluid.
