Anyone having any traction control issues? Any other problems that seem to be fairly common so far?

I dont have one but I noticed a guy with a rubi and he was complaining about the lockers and the ESP thing arguing over who should do what
I have seen an X model do some very amazing stuff with the help of ESP ,stuff that a stock TJ Sahara could not do even with an LSD out back
IMO buy a JK X with the rear locker option and put an LSD up front and be more than good

My in-laws JK Rubi keeps setting a code that has something to do w/ the ESP. It is doing this during street driving and it comes and goes. I know they had an appointment to take it in but not sure what was discovered yet.

Heard from a few places that the control arm that attaches to the front diff; the bracket on the diff/axle may tear off. Unless you have an off-road welder suggestion is to reweld it and/or beef up the connection.

As it was the case in MOAB my ESP/bas, Throttle control light, and the famous stall bug hit me at least once a day - the stall bug has been gone for a while
i have not gotten it lately.
Also, I have not gone to dealer for the Recall for a bunch of the electronics...
I'm learning how to live with a 1st year model Jeep....
