i'm sorry, i thought you meant the issue was that it was kicking in too much... i know it does tie in to body roll. i have on ramp that if i really really gas it, it kicks in, if i don't really really gas it and just really gas it, it never comes on. My guess is that your system is fine and the issue is that these tight turns while tight, aren't yet creating enough body roll to kick it on. The few times it does come on, maybe your going slightly faster which is just enough to kick it on. or perhaps there is loose stone/slightly wet roads that get it to slip just a hair and kick the esp on. I would do this. Find a large snowy parking lot. keep it in two wheel drive, press esp off once to turn off traction control, and do some really good donuts and drifts... my esp will kick on when i do that and go into a really hard slide that i have to steer very far to correct. if that kicks it on, i imagine its working fine. If thats not an option for testing it, and/or your concerned that something is definately wrong take it to your dealer and have them look into it. I hope this helps, but without actually experiencing it first hand its hard to offer much help. Good luck.

My unlimited did this befrore the lift and tires, on two particular curves every time. It really startles me when it happens.
Now after putting on a stronger steering stabilizer.... the lights stay on!
Tomorrow we will try to adjust the steering wheel alignment. Thanks for this info.

mine & my sons sahara does this all the time on one ramp we take every morning it freaked me out the first time , im not sure if i like the jeep applying the breaks without me, someone is going to get smacked in the rear end when this is going on and i can just imagine explaining that to the cops at the accident scene the jeep did it. wonder if some recall regarding esp will be in our future
