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

I had a flat tire and went to retrieve the jack, which is located in the passenger side of the trunk. The jack is stored in a plastic case that is bolted to a bracket. Only one weld was made during manufacture allowing the bracket to break loose. The jack case now just lies in trunk.

Rear left wheel cylinder leaking and was replaced for a second time first time replaced at 19,725 miles, at that time both rear wheel cylinders were replaced under warranty (1/98), now on 9/27/00 the extended warranty only covers replaced the failed part, my concern is shouldn't they replace both wheel cylinders at the same time, especially from a safety perspective, the dealership and gm warranty people are telling me it's not necessary to replace both wheel cylinders, replacing one is ok and doesn't pose a threat for safety. Is this true and I am concerned that one wheel cyclinder became defective again only after 23000 miles were put on the car, this concerns me. Thanks

The body control module that works the door locks and windows. The clutch on the air conditioner. Replaced that then the compressor went out. The radio quit . Its had a roar in the rear end ever since we got it. They cannot find the problem. The gauges for heat , speed, rpms,oil, etc. Go back and forth when you start the engine then when they stop they don't read correctly. Speed doesn't read right. Master cyclinder went out 2 times.
