Today the yellow triangle brake warning light start to show up on my 2013 S with 17k miles on it. It started with on and off and would stayed off for a while after turning the car off and then back on. However after a while, the VDC light also came on and occasionally the red brake light (when you push the foot brake down) also came on intermittently. I searched the board and found http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=15125&hilit=brake+VDC+light" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Taking the car to the dealer tomorrow and I just hope they can get this problem taken care sooner than later.
 
Turned out that it was a loose brake line which cause loose of the brake fluid, therefore all kind of warning lights and errors. It took them less than 3 hours to fix and test so back on the road again. Might be worth knowing that when I went to pick up the car, the service manager told me that they had 3 of the same problem coming this week, all 2013.
 
Wow!

You should file a safety complaint with NHTSA at http://www.safercar.gov/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. Hope the other 3 owners will do the same...
 
Same thing is happening to me. I noticed out of the corner of my eye that the yellow triangle light would flash on from time to time. Today both VDC and yellow braking light stayed on while driving. I power cycled the car and it went away. I am going to the dealership tomorrow to have them take a look at it.

Still waiting to get it back but so far looks like a leak in the break reservoir. They have been working on it for the past 4 hours.
