The last two days the traction control has kicked in when I take a right turn clover leaf entrance ramp. It has 35,500 on it and I replaced the differential fluid about a month ago and there have been no leaks. I need to get it to the stealer pretty quick as there is only 500 miles left on the warranty, but if anyone knows what the cause is it would help going there with that knowledge. Thanks all! |

No toher changes besides the diff fluid? Lift, new tires or wheels? |

No. Changed plugs and oil in December. But nothing tire or suspension related. It is my daily drive and nothing off road except the fact it is 4WD. |

Got them when I purchased the vehicle just short of a year ago. I have rotated them once. There is still plenty of tread. So far it has only done it on a sharp turn clover leaf entrance ramp, but something doesn't feel "right". Will take it over lunch today if I have time and see if I can get it to do it in other situations. I probably didn't make my OP as clear as I should of and edited it. It happens when I am on a clover leaf entrance ramp. |

Me? ![]() No more than probably anyone else. I have taken the same route for months and this just started happening the last two days. I will take it slower tomorrow and see what it does. |

Do you have the basic Goodyear ST tires or the all terrain Goodyear SR-A tires? If it is the basic ST tires, they may be starting to wear out already. My Mother had the STs on her KJ for the first 12 months. Every once in a while, she would have the ABS come on when she tried to stop on dry pavement. When we switched her STs for my old SR-As, the Jeep was back to normal. |
