- ‘18 Jeep JLR
Stopped in at my local FCA dealer where I purchase my JL Rubicon. Service checked my Jeep for any fault codes; nothing at all. Which means the traction control is working. I asked them if it will spin when punched in first or second gear on a wet road; they said yes. My dash light does come on, but as other people have stated it will and has gone sideways more than once.
My take on this; I will drive the vehicle as if it doesn't have any driving aids. I will let it go sideways if I choose, but I will have to rely on my driving skills to keep it under control.
What's the purpose of traction control if it doesn't control poor traction performance in wet or snowy conditions? I talked to a friend who has an '18 Chevy Silverado with traction control in 2WD that definitely works by limiting power to the rear wheels when it starts to spin.
Does anybody know if the Dodge pickups have traction control, that works, in 2WD? If they do, the system should have been employed on Jeep Wranglers.
