Default Traction Control Problem

Has anyone had an issue with the EPS (Traction Control) turning off while driving? I'm not talking about while hot rodding but just while driving at highway speeds on dry conditions no funny stuff. I've had it happen three times, twice this weekend on a trip to Seattle. The DIC just says EPS off and it will not come back on until the car sits for a while (something cools off maybe). I tried to turn the car off and wait a couple of minutes but that didn't help but after a couple of hours the system was ok. I will get it to the dealer next week but wondered if anyone else was having this issue.

Should not happen. Check MAF sensor plug. Make sure it's firmly plugged in. Or take it to the dealer.

Yes. It only does it at freeway speeds. I have it narrowed it down to one of the wheel speed sensors and havent had time to graph the sensors on a lab scope.
