While traveling 70-80MPH I started to slow down. As I was slowing down at about 40MPH the brake pedal lifted my foot up. I then pressed harder on the pedal and was unable to slow the vehical down. Finally after 2 seconds the pedal went all the way down and the car skidded out of control. The right front wheel was damaged when the car went up a curb. No other damage was noticed. I, the driver, was the only one in the car. I hit my head on the side window due to impact on curb.
While reversing at 10 MPH brakes failed , causing the consumer to hit the vehicle in the rear. The brake pedal was hard when depressed. Consumer read in the owner's manual that the vehicle had dual brakes. Meaning, if one part fails the other part would work to stop the vehicle. Brakes were checked by a private dealer and consumer learned he had brakes going forward but not backwards.
