| Description of the problem | I was traveling east on interstate 70 traveling approximately 60 mph when the vehicle began to hydroplane severely. I lost control of the vehicle and slammed into the concrete divider. There were other vehicles traveling along the same highway without any control problem. This control problem during rain has been an issue with this vehicle since i've had it. It has never felt safe while driving in the rain. I've found other gle 43 amg owners reporting the exact same problem while driving in the rain. |
