I have a 2007 Versa S Hatch and I think that there is something wrong with the parking brake sensor. The parking brake light comes on while I am driving any time that:

I go down a hill without accelerating
decelerate (either by coasting to a stop or using the foot brake)
turn left

It used to happen only once in a while but as of the last few months it is nearly any time that I do any of the above items. As soon as a accelerate, turn right, or go up a hill the light will go off.

Any recommendations of where to look?

Check brake fluid level. Don't know if these do it but some cars combine the park brake light with a function for low brake fluid too. Why the car moving in certain ways may trigger it.
