Doesn't sound like auto bracketing to me. I did that a couple of times and the results were consistent and far from extremely over or underexposed.
My K10D very occasionally does what you describe; I just get a really dark shot in an otherwise properly exposed series for no apparent reason. I've come to live with it, I just delete it when it happens. IMHO you sound like your camera is unfortunately on its way south, i.e. into "Pj" exposure mode, aka "(next body) Purchase justification" Mind you, I am in no way a camera repairman - nor repairperson for that matter - so my opinion is worth 2 cents at best.
