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?

Yes, why are you dogging the car so much to cause wheel spin?

My '04 works just right. If you are under warranty, complain to the dealer
and have it checked out.

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...
