I get a cracking n grinding sound on turning during take off. Vehicle slows down, AWD n ADVTrac are disabled, lights stay on. I can drive normally till I shut off n restart engine. If I stop but not turn off engine, I can resume travel without any issue

It sounds like maybe some kind of traction control / ABS system failure. It's too hard to tell without doing a proper diagnostic tests with the modules that are disabled. There is data to be learned here, test before attacking the noises alone.
