Description of the problem	Brake light began going on/off intermittently starting on january 10, 2012. Definitely more common on days with temps at freezing or below. Light would eventually go out once car warmed up, but would come back on after using the brakes to slow down or stop. Brakes did seem to stop okay, although there were a few times very recently that they made an unusual noise. Checked/added brake fluid several times over the past two months. Had car serviced at local nissan dealership last week and was told that master cylinder needed replaced due to a leak. Cost was $100 out of pocket -- remainder covered under extended warranty as my vehicle now has 41,494 miles on it.
