#31 of 33 So far so Good by maxximizer Dec 02, 2007 (4:39 pm)
Replying to: brianma (Nov 09, 2006 8:47 am) My Mazz 2006 has 41K miles on original brakes..still have the OEM rotors..Still in the first set of tires and no problems, but if you guys can give me your opinions on: 1) when I apply the brakes on an icy surface TC and ABS stop the car pretty fast but as the front wheels grab and let go I feel this bouncing effect on the brake pedal which is not to light but not too pronounced. It happens only on icy roads, I even had to brake downhill with 6 people in the car, under normal road conditions and I don't see the problem showing. Normal ? or are rotors just starting to warp ? 2) How do I refill the back windshield reservoir, where is it, maybe I've been lazy to look it up. Thanks.

Replying to: grumpy64505 (Sep 28, 2007 5:18 am) Can you tell me what fuses you pull when you are towing your Malibu? My Dad bought a Maxx and the dealer told him he only had to pull one, but that doesn't sound right. His old Malibu (a '99) he had to pull about 4 and didn't have to leave his keys in the car. They told him he would have to leave his keys in the ignition in the Accessory mode. I would think that his battery would go dead after a day of towing. I would appreciate any insights you might share.   Thank you!

Replying to: maxximizer (Dec 02, 2007 4:39 pm) I have an '07 maxx I bought new last August.I sold Chevys back then, so I knew the best value on the lot. The ABS system sounds like it is working as advertised. I'm not a mechanic on cars, but as road conditions change, hydraulic pressure applied to the brakes changes to prevent wheel lock up. add to that the traction control possibly having input at the same time, it seems there could be some "pedal feel" I have experienced this as well. i believe these are these are the best brakes I have ever had on any car. Also, the pedal thump feels a lot better than the "crash" of an accident. The rear window washer fluid supply, If I remember correctly, is the same tank as the front wipers. Hope this helps
