Brake Light On problems of the 2008 Nissan Altima Hybrid

I have a 2008 Nissan Altima Hybrid and am having problems with the brakes. I was driving the car when I stepped on the brakes to stop for a signal. The pedal went down without slowing the car until it was near the bottom of its travel at which time the car came to an abrupt halt, the abs, vdc and brake warning light came on. I continued home without trouble until I was coming into the garage at which time the same thing happened. I have checked and found others who have had the same problem. Fortunately I was traveling at a low speed with no traffic.

Hi, I recently discovered that the brake lights are intermittently malfunctioning because of an unreliable brake lights switch. I became aware of the issue because the push button ignition was intermittently failing. After a little bit of research I found out that it is a known issue for Nissan altima 2007-2008 owners, but was never addressed by Nissan. I have a three month old baby that could have been severely injured in a rear end collision. Please make sure this issue gets addressed before any accident occurs. Thank you so much!.
