Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: This all-wheel drive hydroplaned in very heavy rain, enbeknownst to my wife, until the car drifted toward the median of the divided 4-lane. traction was regained and she was propelled across and down the embankment. thankfully, no cars were coming -- plus, the all-wheel drive got her back up the embankment and home. shouldn't a light or sensor be required so all-wheel drive car owners know when hydroplaning occurs? how else is there to know?!? thanks so much.
