The problem seems to have corrected itself, it's not doing it any more. The
power steering was a little low, after I filled it the problem went away,
maybe it was causing some drag on the motor. I'm not sure if it's that or if
the computer needed more time to learn, but I've got another 150 miles on it
with no problems.
