Continous failures in the electronic stability program (eps) that causes periodic braking during normal driving conditions. Failure causes car to pull in the direction of braking wheel, often causing the car to enter other lanes of traffic. At this point, only the electronic sensor has been replaced, which has not corrected problem.
