I took my car for ride into the city yesterday and when I exited the freeway my brakes failed. I had to stand on the pedal to slow the car down and not wreck on the offramp. Luckily I was able to pull over in a safe place and call a flatbed. There seems to be fluid coming out around the master cylinder somewhere. I don't know exactly what is wrong. I don't know much about brakes on these cars. I want to fix this as soon as possible. Is it common to have brake issues on these cars? I have seen others convert their brakes to vacuum so I am guessing these systems are problematic.
