[Shotimes] Pls help w/ brakes

Whenever this has happened to me in the past, its been either the master brake
cylinder, or one of the wheel cylinders has failed. You should be able to see
the fluid leaking out of the back side of the cylinders if the wheel cylinder
has failed. Does anything happen when you pump the brake pedal a couple of
times? Does the pedal come back up some? Either way, its not safe to drive
until fixed

  Hello SHO folks,

  I have a 94 ATX SHO w/ 115K mls, it is my wife's car.

  Today she noticed that in order to get any brakes she had to press the
  peddle down to the floor.
  She was scared so she left the car at school.

  I went and picked it up and drove it home, carefully of-course :)
  I have no brakes until the peddle is to the floor and the brakes I do have
  take some time to bring the SHO to a complete stop, kind of scary.

  Could the break cylinder be going bad or could it be the fact that my rear
  brakes need changing? Front brake pads are good. 2 yrs old. I checked the
  brake fluid reservoir and the lvl is normal.

  Would old brake fluid cause this? I changed it a couple of years ago.

  Thank you kindly for your assistance.
