Anyone drive in 4A and seems to hunt for traction

So...its true.

In sport mode, 4A does not work. WHY FORD?

Yes it does. Select sport mode first then rotate the knob to 4A

I believe you need to select sport mode from the wheel and then manually select 4A.

In 4A, sport, if I accelerate too hard making a turn, it'll yank the steering wheel pretty hard toward center, almost out of my hands.

Definitely gets my attention!

Well I guess something is wrong, it keeps popping back into 2. I will try again.

You and @TwizzleStix are talking past each other, but his description of how you can be observing this is not wrong. Please reread his description, a few posts back.

unless some things are actually wrong, it sounds like you are not articulating what you’re seeing so that the rest of us “get it”.

also, pictures. Or you’re talking about the battery lif e display on your prius
;-)

Theres a portion of twisty mountain climbs that I've driven through almost every weekend the past two years.
As soon as I get into the twisties, I'll turn on 4A.

I always get the lost-traction symbol - at spirited driving.
i.e: on the throttle while taking sharp turns on an ascent.

I know the fronts are getting power because the indicator screen shows this.

I can replicate this very easily.

Initially I thought my KO2 were just old.

Then when I put on my cooper stt pro, it still happened.
I assumed because the rear tires were used more than front (because im usually in 2H).
But even after a tire swap, I still loose traction on pavement in twisties.

Appears to be the nature of the beast?

This describes my complaint as well. Same result regardless of road conditions or speed. Pretty much renders 4A useless to me. Sure wish I could find a definitive answer as to if this is normal or not.
