VDC, SLIP, ABS indicator lights staying on!!!!

For some reason today, the vdc, slip, and abs lights stayed on. I turned my car off and turned it back on and the lights went out but they came back on after a few minutes. Even when I push the VDC OFF button nothing happens. Does anybody know why these indicators are staying on???

If its still under warranty, just take it to the dealer.. Might as well use what you pay for... If i were you i would make sure that i could replicate the problem though.. I wouldn't want to take it to the dealer and have them say "We didn't see anything"....

Well, i didnt buy my car through the actual dealership....will the warrany still be good at a dealership? If not, how much do u think they'll charge for new brake pads and fluid?

You're lucky you got that many miles on it before it gave you warning. Some people get less than 10k and they already need to change the pads. If you have an 5AT then your warranty is 3 yrs/ 36k miles.

Unless your car has a salvage title, you have warranty through Nissan Motors.

Yes, factory warranties are transferrable from owner to owner during the warranty period. Unless the previous owner had the warranty voided for some reason I guess, but that would be pretty rare I would think.

I got the EXACT same thing a few weeks back, i even posted a thread about that. I took the car to the dealer in ended up my break fluid was low and my break pads needed to be changed. I however didn't let infiniti do that couz they wanted too much money. I ordered the pads online a few days back and i'm still waiting for them and i'm planning on having a mechanic friend of mine change them.
