Default excessive engine braking?
Had my oil changed as well as more trans fluid put in to stop the drain back issue. could this be causing excessive engine braking or do you think its a brake caliper on the way out? 120k on my 2011.

Saying running more tranny fluid than needed? Not a good idea.

What drain back issue?

Engine oil, transmission (auto??), and brake calipers are pretty diverse...

You can test for a hanging brake caliper by stopping the jeep while on paved level ground. Let off the brakes slowly with it in drive. If it moves forward without applying throttle then the caliper is probably fine.
