Have the fault codes read by a dealer...

... then report back. It's a lot cheaper than having them fix things (a dealer charged me a few hours labour just for TCS diagnosis and they had access to the fault codes!) and much, much cheaper than fitting new parts until it stops giving problems.
I'm not a TCS expert (only had one car with TCS and only one fault with it, which I took to the aforementioned dealer), but there are many people here very knowledgeable about it who should be able to provide a pretty accurate diagnosis between them - probably more accurate than a dealer who is under pressure to get the job done and to sell you some parts and labour.
As a guide, I had a fault code pulled from my ABS system recently and the dealer charged around £20 (US$30). Much better than changing wheel sensors (at £90 a time) until I find the right one (which would be the fourth one, in accordance with Sod's Law).
