I've had hydraulic brakes fail on me before when a line broke in the winter, this doesn't sound significantly worse.

That said, I was able to control my car with a steel cable e-brake handle when it happened, and whatever fancy bs automakers decide to use on the brake pedal, I'm not buying a car without a handbrake for the foreseeable future.

My current handbrake is a toggle switch. :(

Good luck. Most every car now has a switch connected to the computer that commands a motor to pull a chord that bonks the gerbil cage which starts running in its wheel that turns a fan by belt which blows the toy sailboat which bumps the hinged board that falls over releasing the bowling ball that runs down the ramp into a basket that pulls a rope which turns the burner on the stove boiling a kettle of water which blows the little turbine that pulls the brake pads tight. Cables and levers were too hard for them to install.
