Isn't the off button for ESP suppose to shut it off
I was wondering if it was just me. I turn the button off and when I take a round turn getting off the freeway at 35 mph the ESP comes on. What is the off button for????????

To turn the ESP fully off, press and hold the ESP button for 5-14 seconds while driving UNDER 10 MPH. A chime should sound when it is fully off. If you drive over 40 mph it will return to Partially-Off from Fully off.
In addition, for modified vehicles if the ESP is giving you crap just driving around, you can have Chrysler/Jeep service techs turn ESP fully fully off - which will keep it off even through key cycles (see second quote below).

The Fully ON mode completely activates the Antilock Brake System, Low-Speed Traction Control, All-Speed Traction Control, ESP Yaw Control, and Electronic Roll Mitigation. By default, whenever the vehicle is started, ESP is Fully ON or fully active.
Partially OFF
The Partially OFF mode provides less automatic control by modifying the all-speed traction controland
ESP yaw control thresholds. This will allow for limited wheel slip for high-performance driving
situations, when stuck in deep snow or driving off-road.
Fully OFF
The Fully OFF mode completely disables All-Speed Traction Control, ESP Yaw Control and Electronic
Roll Mitigation. This mode is reserved for high-performance vehicles and off-road-capable vehicles
when in four-wheel-drive mode.
Note that regardless of the mode, the antilock brake system and low-speed traction control
remain active — all the time.

ESP will not revert to “on” with the key cycle.
Unlike the other vehicle types, ESP for a modified Jeep® Wrangler requires specific procedures by the Service Department and customer to turn ESP Fully OFF and then Fully ON again.

Gibeon, where'd ya get that quote from? Is it in the manual somewhere....I've searched it over and over again, but no luck. I'd like to have the actual Chrysler documentation with me since I forsee the service department giving me shit and trying to get out of disabling this godsend of a feature.
