Angry Service Vehicle Soon/Trac Off/ABS lights all on

On Friday I was moving my car into my driveway when all of a sudden the ABS, Trac Off, and Service Vehicle Soon lights came on. I called Oldsmobile roadside assistance (eventhough I was in my driveway) and they towed it to the dealership. I was told the next day that the only code logged into the PCM was "excessive wheel spin at right front wheel". The invoice said that "there are many things that could cause issue; don't want to guess at this time; cleared codes; lights off". The service advisor told me that he's seen this before and that usually after clearing the codes, many Alero owners don't experience this again. He also told me they check they checked the resistance in the wheel speed sensor and everything checked out okay. So I drove off hoping it was over with. Well it happened again last night. The lights came and went, but there is obviously something going on that keeps setting these lights off. I contacted the dealer and set up a day that I could bring my car in. He told me they would check it out again, and somewhat rudely I told them I wouldn't take my car out of the service drive unless they actually did something this time instead of just clearing the pending trouble codes. I have an appointment Wednesday morning so we'll see what they do. Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this? Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Thanks and sorry the post was so long.
