Description of the problem	2012 f350 super duty was parked at the top of a driveway that sloped downward on a 33% grade. I put the truck in reverse to back down the driveway and when i attempted to press the brake pedal to regulate the speed on descent of the slope, the brakes froze up and had no power. I had to stand on them to attempt to slow down. This did not have any effect so i slammed the transmission into park, which also had no effect due to the transmission ratcheting safety feature. I had to stop the truck with the emergency brake. By this point i was in the neighbor's front yard. The brake pedal did not drop to the floor, it just never moved at all and was frozen at the unpressed, highest position. Have delivered vehicle to dealership for inspection and repair. This could have easily resulted in major property damage or fatalities. Very unsafe situation. Truck is practically new and still under warranty.
