This was before I was "car-aware" - all I know is I stepped on the brake pedal one day and my foot went all the way to the floor, and it took a while for the car to stop. Luckily I was less than a mile from my house, and I babied it the rest of the way there. When I brought it to the shop, they informed me all rubber lines and components needed to be replaced. That was not a fun experience...
