Default Help!

Coming home from work today while I was making a turn out of a parking lot the traction control light started flashing and when I pressed the gas it was like nothing was happening. Luckily I was in my neighborhood so pulled over and turned the jeep off, back on and tried to pull off and it was doing the same thing. Weird almost grinding noise coming from somewhere underneath. I was able to put it in 4h and get through the neighborhood and get home but when I turned in to my driveway another odd noise from the front. I'm about to change clothes and go see if I can figure out what is going on but can anybody give me any insight on what might be happening so I know where to start?

This is driving me nuts because I just had to replace my erg valve this week and we all know how much of a pain that is...

Any help would be much appreciated!

Can this anyway be related to the steering wheel not being centered?

What would be other causes?

I went for a ride down my street and when the wheel was straight all the dash lights turned off. (Traction, abs, esp, bas).

Went home and adjusted the steering wheel. Went back down the road and it's acting up. I don't understand why it does it in 2 wheel but doesn't do it in 4h?

Speed sensor failures will do this as well. Had my ABS, traction control and ESP lights on dash, felt like brakes were being pressed while giving the Jeep gas. Also sounded like a grinding noise coming from Jeep.
