Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Malibu / November 2006'06 Maxx traction control - underwhelming
I get a hell of a lot of wheelspin even in the dry, and the traction control only comes on in the most extreme circumstances. I've owned other cars with TC and it seemed to be a lot more effective. Any opinions? > I get a hell of a lot of wheelspin even in the dry, and the traction > control only comes on in the most extreme circumstances.

If you are under warranty, complain to the dealer and have it checked out. >I get a hell of a lot of wheelspin even in the dry, and the traction > control only comes on in the most extreme circumstances.

I've owned other >> cars with TC and it seemed to be a lot more effective. Any opinions? If you're dogging it to the point where the traction control needs to kick in frequently, you're going to wear your brake pads down faster than you can blink an eye. (the system applies braking to the free-spinning wheel to transfer power to the wheel that is gripping) I would suggest a little lighter touch on the throttle is in order. unless you like paying for frequent brake jobs... > My '04 works just right.
