What is the problem when Front driver side break sticks while driving on a 91 Honda accord?
I would suspect your caliber is sticking due to moisture contamination of your brake system. This will cause rust to form in the caliber and cause it to stick. You need to replace both front calibers and replace the brake fluid in the entire brake system. Install DOT 3 brake fluid from an unopened container. Get all the old contaminated fluid out of the system. Bleed brakes in this order. RR > LR > RF > LF.

What do i do my emergency brake won't go off?
The problem may be with your park brake cables. Over time they become rusted and corroded and they pull out and won't go back, holding the brake shoes or pads against the brake surface and need to be replaced. However the problem could be the latch that holds the park brake lever in place when it is on. If if the release button does not unlock the lever, It won't release. The gear type latch may need lubricated with rust and grease dissolving solvent until it moves freely. Hope this fixes your problem
