Yeah that's happened a few times to me. If I go to fast and press my break to quick too hard it grinds bad, if you slowly break from now on it'll stop grinding when you fast break... Just my experience I'm also a shitty driver..

Is it lifted at all? Or have larger tires? I have the same problem. But my traction light flashes. I took it to the dealership and they said if its lifted or has larger tires then the computer will rear that a tire is slipping ( around corners dt difference in traveling distance) resulting in the abs kicking in to " pumping"

Whats a "break" ??? Is the road paved or dirt? I have heard of a few jeeps here and there that have actually left the factory with the steering juuuuust out of "center" meaning the monitoring system is detecting a misscompare between steering input vs what the various sensors (Accelerometers) are seeing.

In layman's terms the jeep is thinking it is turning too sharp for its intended direction and is applying the abs system to help correct. With it leaving the factory on the ever loving edge of the high end of accepted tolerance it is being very very sensitive to the particular situation you are describing.

Hell I have had MY jeep do it to me after i did my lift. I did not dial in to perfect center and when I took a right into Home Depot my Dash lights came on and abs pumped away. I laughed ... crawled under it in the lot and gave my collar another 1/2 turn and it has been legit and straight as an arrow ever since.

Look into the aev procal module. From why I've read it takes care of that problem
