Traction control has randomly engaged 4 times in the past week, at speeds as low 35 mph and on the highway at 65 mph. Pavement was dry and we were driving straight, not turning. Braking is applied causing temporary loss of speed and pulling steering to one side for about 1-2 seconds. Control returns and trac control light continues to blink. Does not result in an error code.
