The brakes started grinding and abs/tcs was kicking in randomly. Took it to the dealer to get new wheel speed sensors and they said they couldn't replicate the problem but I needed $3k in other stuff.

Took it to my parents mechanic and had $650 of work done including new wheel speed sensors.

Now it's not fixed and something is really messed up. First I thought it was the wheel bearing but now it's way worse. If I try to back up it gets stuck and then when I give it more gas it will pop loudly and then move while still popping. It grind when I press the brakes and forces the pedal back like abs modulation but in a grinding way.

CV?
Possibly wheel bearing and CV?

Also last night I started up my Jeep and turned the lights on and a couple seconds later all the electronics die and the lights go out, then they all come back on with all my dummy lights. I've had the BCM replaced so I'm at a loss for this too.

Having it towed back to the mechanic today.

Could be the front drive shaft, CV, Intermediate shaft or something else.

Did they check the parking brake? Since the shoes are located in the hub of the rotor, it's possible that the shoes have come loose and are grabbing on the inside of the assembly.

Rear axle sensor and loose engine mounts? Whatever it works now. My driver rear window regulator failed today as I pulled in the driveway. :furious:

Try the the rear window controls in the back seat if you havent already. My passenger side rear window quit working last year while I was on my honeymoon, and I figured for sure it was the regulator- given their natorious habit of failing. After ripping the door apart to assess the situation and get the window back up (it's cold in Bayfield, WI in November!) and not finding anything visibly broken, my bride asks "did you try the switch in the back seat?" :banghead: it works! Hopefully you have the same luck
