NEED ALOT OF HELP. vdc light and slip

ok well i have done some research and i plan on checking out the brakes and fluid as well as the speed sensor on back of front rotors here very shortly but want more ideas of what i can check for in the morning. the car only has 44k miles. lowered on tien s-techs and aligned by nissan. ok four days ago it started raining really bad and went to meet someone to eat. i couldn't go over 35 without the car wanting to literally fishtail and i noticed the steering wheel was cocked really hard to the right like alignment was off. kept looking for tps to go off and pulled over and checked tires and they r all up. drove it in the dry and it has been fine and ive even gotten up to about 65 with no worries and steering wheels seems to be normal again. well it poured down today and did the same stuff on way to work and the steering wheel was once again cocked to the right like alignment was off but this time vdc light and slip came on. got to end of road turned the car off for five seconds then back on. they were off but the car still acted horrible. any other ideas. thanks guys!

as far as the performance idk what to tell you. but i have read that alot of G owners have had the vdc and slip lights come on around 40K. what condition are your brakes in? mine came on and it was bugging the hell out of me so i finally broke down and took it in and the guys at Infiniti said that it was the breaks. whatever they did to the car (probably just reset) the lights were off and remained off when i got it back. hope this helps.

I've been having the same issue and took it to the dealership this morning. The service writer had me check the brake fluid and mine was right at the min line. He said that when the car senses low fluid it shuts off ABS and VDC. That is def something you should check before you start ripping things apart.

Odds are your master cylinder is going. Same thing happened to mine and it was the master cylinder leaking. There is no reason your fluid should be low unless it is leaking or your pads are really worn. Keep an eye on it.

^ ya ive been a keeping a extra close eye on the fluid based off the old threads ive read. got new brakes all the way around and new tires all the way around and honestly it seems like the problem has gone away. but now i got exhaust problems so when i take it to nissan imma get them to hook it up to the machine anyways and see if they can figure out anything else
