Dude! Same thing, '12 Rubicon, same indications at varying speeds. It's at the dealer now. I'm forwarding this thread (and the video!).

I had this happen to my '07. It turned out to be the chassis ground wire in the engine compartment was loose. I tightened it down and the issue hasn't returned.

Dealer claims to have solved it. Says the motor for the swaybar is receiving an incorrect (zero) speed input from the transmission, causing the warning. They're getting a new one shipped in and installed tomorrow (swaybar motor). I'll get more specifics when I get it back and will post an update.

I hate to be the bubble buster but. I have a sport they don't have electric sway bar discos, i would point that out to the dealer since we have the same problem
