I took my car out for a spin last night and was haulin you know what and i went to brake down a hill and my brakes didnt work..It was like pushing my foot down on a brick..I had to downshift to 2nd and cut the corner so i didnt hit the business at the end of the block..Scared the $**t out of me!!

what year is your car? what kind of brake pads are you running? does your pedal have a spongy feeling

check the vacuum tube from the intake to the brake booster.

Don't play around with that one man. Something is definitely wrong with your brakes. We want you to be around to stay. If you are in MD, my cousin can help. Pm me if you are close by.

when you press the brake pedal does it want to go down more after you press on it I mean you press on it then it wants to go down more

i would say that the guys recommending you to check the vacuum line is a good call. Possible you are not getting the assist that the brake booster is supposed to supply.
