Check your brake fluid. Mine did that when I first put on my big brake kit. The fluid was low. Filled it back up and it's been fine ever since.

This has happened to several others recently (including me). A search on this forum for VDC + BRAKE + SLIP would have gotten you to these and several other threads with potential solutions...
