So my ESC malfunction indicator light seems to come on pretty randomly. I can drive and drive with no issues. If I park and idle for a few minutes, BAM, it comes on. Turn the Jeep off, turn it back on, light is off. Anyone experience this situation of the light and message coming on, but disappearing upon next start, only to come on randomly later?

Well thatā€™s not good. First check all the fuses and relays under the hood to make sure they are seated properly. Many reports of loose fuses.

Could also be loose connector somewhere or faulty sensor.

I appreciate the suggestions! I checked fuses yesterday and didnā€™t notice anything suspiciously loose - but that could me my own lack of knowledge in how tight they should seat - regardless, I pushed on every one of them in the fuse box and nothing seemed to try to seat itself tighter ham what it was. Iā€™ll have to monitor until I can get it in to the dealer. I kind of expect some electrical glitches with a new platform and, although annoying, extremely happy with the JLU compared to my ā€˜16 JKU (backcountry).

FWIW - I Drove again this morning and it didnt happen...yet

Mine started doing this too but only when off road. Seems totally random when it decides to go off. First time was scary atop a mountain trail in the middle of nowhere with no cell reception. I haven't had it go off while on pavement yet though.

Odd...I donā€™t know which is worse from a troubleshooting standpoint - parked or driving

update: just heard back from the dealer...they did the U62 recall update which cleared the code (I half expected this) but it fired again when they test drove it. Service tested the vacuum pump and it's working as expected; however, the ABS module is behaving erratically. They're going to replace the ABS module; however, it's on backorder and they have no ETA at this time. Service department is going to see what information they can track down on the backorder situation to see if they can get a less vague ETA on it.

Thanks Jasmine! I donā€™t expect to hear back from my dealer until Thursday or Friday this week.

It doesnā€™t hurt to ask so I will: are you aware of a backorder status on ABS modules?

Thank you for reaching out!

Update: just got off the phone with the dealer (I had a question regarding the rental Iā€™m driving) and was informed that the part was received and my Jeep should be ready today or tomorrow.

Iā€™m not sure if @JeepCares jumped in and got me bumped up the list, but my fingers are crossed that this is worked out. The service advisor couldnā€™t understand how they received the back ordered part so quickly. JeepMagic, perhaps?

@JeepCares - thank you! I sent a response back and I think things are ok as the service department informed me that the part was already received.
