Either the haldex control unit is buggered, your brake light switch is gone or, there is a sensor which measures lateral G I think (can't remember what its called though). The latter 2 are relatively cheap, the first not.
Ideally get the fault codes read by a dealer/indy.

I had a 4 Motion that did something like this. Turned out that the steering wheel wasn't centered after some suspension work. Sounds silly, but basically the ESP system thought the car was cornering when it wasn't etc. Probably not the same problem as yours - but you never know.
