Traction Control Freaky

My new bride has a 2012 Expedition. We have had lots of rain in the last week or so and have had lots of driving to do. She has complained about having to drive slow on wet roads. I have driven it enough in such conditions in the last week, that I see that she has a very legitimate complaint. If you drive through standing water it feels extremely unstable. No traction control light comes on or any other indication other than a very extreme lack of confidence that I am in control.

Anyone else experience such a thing?

Tires? In other threads some folks complain bitterly about the loss of traction, especially wet traction, for LT tires as they wear.

What is it doing? Cutting power? If it does that you should get the warning and light.

Standing water might have given you some connection issues from wheel sensors. (WAG alert)

Driving slow on wet roads--define "slow".
