OK, yet another little issue with this car...
Today, while starting to pull out of a parking spot the "Traction Control" light came on and I could hear the "buzz" noise of the traction control... This lasted only about 3 seconds and then it turned off... This was on dry pavement and I was only moving about 5MPH... That never happened before and the rest of the drive it stayed off... What could cause this??... I've never had the traction control engage except one time last winter... (Yes, I know I could hit the button and turn it off)...

It's most likely a bad wheel speed sensor, which is contained in the hub bearing. You'll need an ABS capable scan tool to find out which hub is causing the problem.
