Description of the problem	I was driving the vehicle at low speed when the brakes started coming on by themselves. The traction control light came on as the vehicle stopped 6 times within a couple of hundred feet. I could feel the anti lock brakes working as the vehicle would stop, then the brakes would release and i would start moving again only to have the brakes come on by themselves again. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and a sensor was replaced regarding the steering. The vehicle has worked fine since, but its only been 5 days since it was repaired.
