2018 JK Traction Control Issue

[BrassHat]

I have a 2018 JK I ordered from a dealership. It has 12,340 miles on it as of today. VIN #1C4AJWAG3JL836787. I drove it for about 4,000 miles then I put a 3.5 / 4 lift to level it, and placed 35’s on it. It is stunning. Yesterday Friday the 15th, I pulled out onto HWY 260 in Show Low Arizona, roads were dry, level, and flat. As I shifted from 2nd to 3rd, and pressed on the accelerator again the traction control light came on and the Jeep violently pulled to the left taking me across two lanes almost immediately, I left off the accelerator the traction control light went off and steering was given back to me. I was stunned I got back over into the slow lane, touched the accelerator again and wham, light and violent swerve to the left. Repeated slowing down moved over, and did it again. I am thinking what the H@ll is going on, I coasted off the road shut the Jeep off waited a minute and restarted with no issues. Driving directly to the dealer, they had it 4 times previous for over a month in shop for a heater core, I told them I was concerned because of the violent nature of the pull to the left if I had been going faster, it would have easily rolled the Jeep. They got on a Jeep website and said (6) jeeps nationwide had this problem so it wasn’t a big issue. I was stunned. My steering wheel was re centered, I did an alignment, it wasn’t done by a chop shop it was done right, I extended the drive lines, re-geared it, etc. what do I do? I will probably contact Jeep directly, but anyone have this happen? Thank you in advance. Ah sorry, one other point. They said they couldn’t help me.....

I would post on a JK forum to get a response to your issue.

There might be a few nuts and bolts that carry over from JK to JL and vise versa but thats about it. Is it so intermittent that you never know when it going to happen or does it usually do it on the morning drive(from sitting awhile and cold) or later in the day(after driving for awhile?)

Did you have it recalibrated for larger tires? What tuner did you use?
If it is calibrated via tuner try setting it back to stock and drive it and see if it still does it.
Check all your wheel speed sensors and sensor wires or have them checked my someone(not dealership) that is very competent.
