Got an issue I can't figure out. 2014 Escape 4x4. Had it aligned and a couple of weeks later I noticed the steering wheel is 15* off and got hill start assist not available and traction control lights. Took it back to the shop and they found the jam nut on the tie rod was loose. Buttoned it up and lights went away.
When the lights came on, the rear end felt like it was in 4x4 mode, and still feels that way. When making a sharp turn from a stop, it feels like it has a positrac rear end that is locked. Anything over 20mph, or a slight turn, and it doesn't feel that way. Lifting the rear and spinning one side gets opposite rotation on the other. I'm at a loss. Don't really want to take it to the dealer for diagnosis.
