#5142 of 5144 Intermittent Shaking/Front End vibration by scanman88gt Oct 24, 2009 (11:52 am)
I've posted this problem on here before and have just gotten the issue resolved, so I thought I'd update the message board. Apparently at some time in the last 8-9 months, the brake fluid in my 2006 Maxx had been topped off with what looked to be power steering fluid. The two fluids did not mix, and contaminated my whole braking system. I just ended up having to have every part in my brake system that contained rubber replaced..i.e. rotors, flexible brake lines, master cylinder and abs hydraulic unit.The way that they discovered the problem was by pulling the cap off of the master cylinder. The mechanic set it down and had to take a phone call. When he got back and went to put the cap back on, the rubber had swelled so much that he couldn't get the cap back on. Needless to say, this wasn't covered by my extended warranty. It ended up cpsting me $2392.00. It was $1200 in parts and $900 in labor. I guess it could've been worse if my wife had had an accident and gotten hurt or killed or hurt or killed someone else. At least it's finally fixed. I will watch anyone changing my oil from here on out like a hawk.

Replying to: drej (May 05, 2009 8:42 am) Hi Has anyone had any issues with the "E" brake cable on the Drivers side failing. mine is only working on Pass side. Setting the park cable is not sufficient on steep grades with only one side working. ...is there a adj point that gives away?... Any Ideas are appreciated. Thanks D~
#5144 of 5144 cd stuck by bdahl Dec 05, 2009 (8:41 pm)
You said your cds were stuck, well the cd changer keeps trying to eject but can't and so it runs down the battery. I had the same problem, we finally took out the fuse that runs the cd/radio. I took it to my dealer and $549.00 later and I had another cd system, it was changed twice after that under warrenty till I got one that works. Now warrenty is up a year later and I have the problem again. I am not spending that again....now what. I read some other site that said they used a nail file and giggled it around and it worked....I will try that. I am ready to screem.....how can Chevy put such a poor product in one of there vehicles and not have a re-call?
