Great Safety Concern With 2006 Liberty, Traction Control Behavior

[J-Thompson]

With the TC in my Durango, I can gun it, it will smoke the tires, but it comes on quick enough to give me traction. No momentum is lost. It doesn't delay movement anymore than the tire smoking...it truly helps.

Same with the VW
now ours is an '09 2.0T with the 6 speed auto

This is a 5.7 2wd....5 speed auto. I've never driven a TC and ESP equipped KJ. But on 4x4 XK's...and 4x4 Durango's in Colorado snow and ice, all with ESP and TC, both did great.

We have a matter of great concern with our 2006 Liberty Sport.

On very rare occasion when the drive wheel slips upon quick acceleration, the traction control kicks in as normal, but will have a one to two second delay before the system wakes up and allows the vehicle to move forward again.

It is not consistent in this behavior, therefore cannot be made repeatable. We feel this is a safety issue. What happens if we over-react to get out of someone's way? We become sitting ducks.

Our other GM and Ford vehicles with traction control never behave this way.

Anyone else experience this?
Any thoughts or advice?

My local Chrysler dealer says there are no outstanding recalls, and wants me to bring in the vehicle. I am concerned he'll empty my pockets before he concludes he cannot find any problem.

yea i had it happen to me as well, driving down a highway, a couple of deer came running across the road, i missed the first one, but the car in the next lane got him, i slammed on the breaks, looked in the rear view and noticed the dude behind me was flying towards me, obviously oblivious to the fact that i was stopped, i STOMPED on the gas, and there was that freaking delay, it felt like an eternity while i watched this dude getting closer and closer, lukily he noticed and breaked as my Kj finally decided okay lets move, so no accident but it is SCARY as shit!
