I've seen on f-book a number of owners have reported random errors cropping up on the dash and cruise control unavailable. Also reports of brake lights permanently on. The fix seems to be back to the dealer to educate them that the fault is with the brake-light switch. Of course long delays to get new brake light switches. However, one poster has shown that adding a simply small rubber pad to the top of the brake pedal where it activates the switch resolves the problem. Apparently a suggestion by RAC to do that or 'adjust' the brake pedal mechanism so it activates the brake switch correctly and not permanently on.

Wonder if it works as a quick fix while awaiting a proper Nissan repair.
