2008 Town and Country - Traction Control kicking in on dry pavement

You can turn traction control off.

Sounds like a sensor malfunction. Check your wheels for brake generated heat to see which sensor is acting up and if it's the same wheel every time.

The best price I can find is on Rock Auto, STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS $168.79. I'm not sure if I've used any parts made by
Standard Auto Parts, are these quality parts or should I look elsewhere?
Thanks
An AMP oil pressure sensor I bought, for the 2007 GC, lasted just beyond the one year warranty period. I wasn't buying another one of those, for sure. Replaced it with a Mopar sensor which has been working for a couple years or so now.

Knowing that the clock spring(steering angle sensor) is the issue. If I turn off the Traction control, should the false shudder stop as long as I disable when starting the car?
So I can drive the car till the part arrives. Thanks
Good question. Give it a try.

Otherwise, check your relays/fuses. Perhaps you can disable ESP, TC, ABS and whatever else is being influence by that sensor and the wheel sensors.
