Are the brakes shit?
No. That is pretty normal for a car that isn't running. The brake pedal won't apply much pressure and will be pretty stiff feeling. Of course, there could be other issues. However, the brakes work off the engine's vacuum through the brake booster, so no vacuum = brakes no worky.

I usually used my e-brake to stop my car when it wasn't running, and we wanted to roll it around.
