We drive our car on a regular basis as we have mild winters in south east Louisiana. I would say we avarage about 100 miles a month. The MC has been in service for about 5 years. This is based on what I was told by the previous owner's son. I had changed all the fluids in September 2012. I used DOT-3 brake fluid. The old fluid did not look bad. This was a sudden failure without warning. We had driven the car to a local outing everything was normal. While we were driving home, I noticed smoke trailing behind the car from the headlights of the car following us. Checked the gauges everything appeared normal. Since the drive to our home is on a two lane parish road with no shoulder (10 miles), I decided to continue on to the house. When I went to slow down to turn on to our street the pedal went straight to the floor. Pumping the pedal did nothing! Our only saving grace was this happen on our way home, rural area and no traffic. I had plenty of room to stop the car with the emergency brake. I was able to slowly drive the remaining mile home using the emergency brake.

I wish Kanter or one of the other vendors would come up with an easy do it your self retro fit dual master cylinder fix?? My wife was not happy about this experience.
