2018 JLUR. 48,000miles. This past week the Jeep would randomly pull hard left and wouldn’t upshift. When it happened I pulled off the road, put it in Park and back in Drive and it drove normal again. It happened on three separate occasions. Same remedy fixed it each time. It actually felt like it was in 4L. Transfer case indicator showed 2H. Anyone else know of this issue?

Immediately after braking? I'd check to see if the caliper is sticking.

No engine light. So I haven’t checked for codes. Would they be one without a light?
If it's trans I'd check the fluid to make sure you still are good there. Just a trans downshift shouldn't cause the hard left pull, though.

See if your traction control light comes on when it does this. It almost sounds like your Jeep is thinking a left tire is rotating faster than it should so it applies the brake to improve traction.
