While driving consumer started experiencing problems with brakes, the pedal had to be pushed down further than normal, and the brakes did not seem to work smoothly, while trying to stop for a light, the brakes failed completley and warning signal did not come on, consumer swerved onto the shoulder put the car in low gear and had pedal to the floor and vehicle finally stopped, vehicle was towed in and inspected and it was determined that the master cylinder contained black fluid, and that the cylinder needed to be replaced.
