Default need some help

Hello.
I have a 06 V6 with the pony package.
The car has been in one accident resulting in replacement of radiator. Once in a while, I can smell the coolant when I start the engine. It doesn't happen every time though and the smell goes away after several minutes. I had a leak check done on the radiator and nothing was found. Any suggestions?

Not long ago I had to pretty much stomp on my brake pedal when I got cut off in heavy rain. At that time I heared a loud bump on my front passenger side. Sounded like I ran over a rock. Ever since, every time it rains I get a loud squealing sound when I brake. The sound does NOT go away even after I've stopped and let off the pedal. I have to actually get up to about 5mph for it to quit. This only happens when it rains. Other then the annoying sound I haven't noticed any difference in braking performance whether the road is dry or not. Car is equipped with ABS if that makes any difference.

Thank you
