That's great, but it's not what is causing his ESP issues. Over inflated tires was the issue

Ok, so my tire pressure was a little high. I deflated my tire and started with 25psi moving up 1 psi till I got to 29 taking quick drives in between. Drove it to a local shop that specializes in alignments and had them look to see if my steering wheel was straight. They made a minor adjustment and presto, no more ESP problems. So far all the turns that normally set it off haven't. Theres just one more on my way home from work that is notorious for setting it off and trying to toss me into the bushes. Cant wait to see if thats the end of my ESP issue.

So far from what I can tell and what worked for me is tire pressure (29psi) and making sure my steering wheel was straight. Thanks guys for your advice and thank you Full Traction for the wealth of knowledge you bestowed upon me.

Now its time to install the ESP kill switch

Not sure about the 09s but on my 08 Sahara I didn't need a killer switch, there is a way of turning it off completely which I did almost a year ago and it works great, no more ESP problems since ESP is OFF !!!

I had that for a while untill the notification and the ding became really annoying. After this fix Im deff gonna go with the kill switch. Just makes it easier to turn ESP off when I need it to be.
