Default Temp Loss Of Traction

When i first start driving, my esp light comes on and my back tires sound like they are spinning/no traction and the esp, abs and bas lights come on and i seem to loose power (acceleration), but it only happens for a second, then the lights go off and everything is fine. It was happening the last 3 Monday mornings, but it happened last night and again this morning. What is happening?

What year? What engine? Please provide more information. Maybe your being to aggressive with the accelerator pedal and breaking the rear end loose. If the rear end breaks loose, the traction control will act just as you are describing.

haha, no, I'm not being aggressive with the acceleration. I'm coming out of a residential area and move very slowly! Now, the highway is a different story, but I don't seem to have any trouble there, yet? :\

If the back tires are actually spinning, the system is working as it should.
