I was pulling into the driveway and the brake pedal went to the floor and I lost all my braking power. I was only going 5 MPH so I used the parking brake to stop. I know my vehicle is old, but it does not have many miles on it and if that failure happened in traffic I would have had an accident. I thought it was suppose to be a duel circuit system, but it act like a single circuit with the lost of brakes. Rust was the culprit for the failure.
