Is anyone else having trouble turning off traction control?

First of all I wish the control was more accessible instead of going through 3 different screens to find it.

That being said, I am finding that most of the time it does not respond. It will turn off, at some point, but it seems to have a great amount of lag. Like it's having to load a whole different program into the AWD system.

If you get it off and you change modes it will turn back on, then it's stuck. Anyone else?

nope, cant say ive come across this.
i usually turn it off in the driveway while its warming up. and i know its off as i kick the tail out a lil bit on the first corner.
i do agree with you on the having to go thru a bunch of screens, kind of annoying …. my civic si had a button right on the dash, on off easy as pie, i miss that.

On my badlands there's a on/off button by the goat mode switch that controls the traction control settings.

Does the Bronco Sport Big Bend have traction control? I ask this because I hydoplaned in my 2007 Ranger and kissed the guard rail coming into Knoxville Tennessee one heavy rainy night and was wondering of my Big Bend had this feature? My wife, worried about this happening to me again, asks if I have slippery selected in the goat modes when in the rain. I want to tell her traction control is automatic but I am not sure. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, traction control is standard on all Bronco Sport trims, and is on by default every time you start the engine. If you want to disable it you must turn it off every time you start.
