i am having a brake drag issue after about 5 miles of driving or heavy braking in city streets. I am looking for a cause for my front brakes dragging to the point that they get stuck at a light. Pedal starts of low when car first starts then gets hard as a brick when the brake drag kicks in

The next time this happens, loosen the steel lines at the master cylinder to see if the brakes release. If they do, suspect contaminated brake fluid. Lets hope they don't release because that will be a very expensive repair. An additional clue will be the rubber bladder seal under the reservoir cap will be blown up and mushy. Next, open the bleeder screws on the front calipers. If the brakes release there, suspect a constricted rubber flex hose.
