(Slip light VDC light Off) keeps coming on

Guys I need your expertise.
Love my G35x but these lights are driving me crazy.
Heads up on my regular driving conditions:
I live in Connecticut and my work route is under construction grooves and bumps.
It seems as my Slip and VDC Off light is coming on at least once on my way to work (highway).
And yes when this initially started my SES light came on and continues to stay on even after I turn off car park for hours start car up and SES light is on but my Slip light and VDC is off: Until it happens again this happening frequently.
Seems too sensitive
😒

Had the same.
Check brake fluid level.
Low brake fluid means you should check for worn out brakes.

MRY, when you say bank sensor, do you mean 02 Sensor?

I believe that was it...the technician at Infinite said when you have your oil changed at one of those quick stops ...these guys aren't aware and/or not careful they end of getting oil on it and can cause it to go bad.....if it still not clear to you.. I apologize...it was 2 years ago I can't recall the name.
but I can call the Infiniti dealer and ask if you'd like..
It was a headache for something so simple to repair

No need to apologize, I honestly appreciate your help. This issue has been driving me insane. Especially when the brakes engage on their own. Whatever information you can gather, would definitely be appreciated. Thank you.

Probably a wheel sensor, O2 sensor has nothing whatsoever to do with the VDC system.

Worn front suspension can also cause these lights (SLIP/VDC) especially if your steering wheel isn't centered while going straight.
