Traction Control System

Traction Control System
So, I have a 2010 Ranger with the Active Roll Stability, as well as the Traction Control that is always on even in 2WD mode.
It comes with a switch that supposedly turns it 'off,' but it doesn't actually turn it off.
I have been in a couple situations where I have been on either gravel or wet, slick roads, with the traction control off, and because of the fact that I grew up in old trucks with out traction control, I have learned how to maintain control when the truck loses traction.
Anyway, I've been in slick situations where I have lost traction around a corner, and I have been fine until the traction control system kicks in. The one time it put me into an uncontrollable four wheel skid on gravel, and I almost went into a ditch.
Is this something that might just be a factory defect, or is it supposed to actually never turn off?
