Today when I was taking a ramp to the freeway the ESC suddenly kicks in. I felt vibration on the driver's floor, engine power was cut, ESC light on on dash and it also came with a whining/grinding noise. The road is perfectly dry. The Jeep is in a normal driving condition since I bought it. Never had this came on before. Any thoughts? Is it just ESC or is it something else?
I have a spot mine kicks in every time, very mild dip in the road. Doesn't make sense I hit big bumps, rough pavement it does not, but one certain dip it kick in. Oh and big puddles.

Could be a wheel speed sensor. Had a buddy have the same problem. On our jeep when the sensor went out, the computer wouldn't let the transmission shift from 1st to 2nd. If you have a code reader throw it on your jeep or stop by an autozone or etc...
I didn't change out the sensor as it happened when I was out of town and my wife limped the car to the dealership. I hear they aren't to difficult to change and cost around $25
Add me to the list of "hey why's that kicking in" I have a 15 JKUR with a 2" mopar and and its fun on the freeway when its starts breaking automatically for ya.
so I drove on the same ramp again today. This time nothing happened.... I guess it's just some Jeep thing... I just want to make sure it's just the Jeep thing, not something more serious (e.g., transmission slip)...
Our 13 did that randomly. needed a new ESC module. Replaced under warranty. No problem since. Did take a few times for the dealer to figure out what was wrong.
Check all the Ground cables, strange things like that almost always attributed to a lose or almost failed ground.
