I was going about 25 MPH when the truck ahead of me stopped. I hit the brake pedal hard and the brake pedal seemed hard as if it wasn't moving and my car just kept moving forward resulting in rear ending the truck ahead of me. I checked the brake fluid level after the car was towed home and the fluid level looked okay maybe down a little. Have never changed out the brake fluid and had the brakes recently checked by lew scwab tires brakes new brake shoes front and rear brakes okay

The hood release cable broke internally in the cable guide. When this happens there is no way to open the hood. Not just for repair and maintenance, but emergency situations. The cable is routed between the radiator and the core support. Tye only way to open the hood is to pry it up damaging the hood, the upper core support, and possibly the condensor.

The paint clear coat has been pealing on the car for several years for no apparent reason. First on the top, then on the hood, and fenders. I have a 1994 pontiac grand prix without such damage, yet has been under identical circumstances.

My nephew was driving his 1995 pontiac bonneville and turned into a driveway. At that time, the rear body to subframe mounts failed, as the bolts pulled through the mild steel retainer disks that had been weakened by rust caused the rear of the subframe to drop away from the body of the car, pulling the steering shaft out of its socket. This caused an immediate and total loss of steering. It seems likely that a weakened mount retainer disk might fail under vehicle acceleration at higher speeds. The mounts were replaced with new ones, which appeared to be made of mild steel. The shape of the part is such that it seems likely water and road salt would collect and weaken the part. Stainless or another alloy might be a better choice.

The paint started pealing on my car, just for no apparent reason. First the top, then the hood and fendors. Gm said there was no recall on paint or problems?

The exterior paint on the vehicle is "flaking off", something that the auto body shop refers to as "delamination"... Seems to occur a great deal on 1995 pontiac bonnevilles.

Engine failure cylinders filling with coolant. Talked with several independent garages and they say it's a common occurrence with the 3800 v6. Spoke with pontiac dealer in gainesville ga. According to parts/service department there are no tech bulletins released from gm. Wanted to know if there have been other complaints re: 1995 pontiac bonneville's 3800 v6's. According to independent garage the intake gasket and head gaskets failures. The car also has a water leak into the passenger cabin and trunk as well, appears to leaked since it was manufactured. I owned an oldsmobile with a similar problem in 1992 and the factory didn't seal the cowl area properly when the car was assembled. Thanks for your input!
