my daughter has a 98 neon and it had the same exact problem. What i found was that the left front rubber line was so old that it was collapsing when the brakes got up to operating temp in essence making the brake drag until it almost locked. She got it so hot it melted the hubcap. I replaced with new rubber line and haven't had the problem since.

Check the calipers on the car to see which one is frozen. Most likely you have a stuck wheel caliper that is causing the frozen problem and will have to be replaced.
Front brakes are dragging replaced pads rotors calipers and lines but brakes still drag what could it be?
It's rare....because usually the master cylinder will allow pressure to bleed off. Not the other way around. But if you have replaced the calipers, this is the next thing I would check. I suppose it could be sticking.

This problem is caused by disc brakes that have a fluid leaking from the calipers. You can buy loaded calipers an install to the car to fix the problem.
1990 Lumina euro brakes problem - intermittent - calipers stick - rotors glow orange - replaced rubber hoses - replaced calipers about a year ago - replaced front brakes recently - other remedys?
The brake proportioning valve may be sticking, but this is very uncommon. Did you lubricate the slider pins on the caliber or replace them if they are rusted or corroded? Check all contact points and clean them off throughly. Apply brake lube to all contact points.
Why do the rear disc brakes stay locked up after you let off the pedal on a 1999 Chevy blazer s-10?
usually either the calipers have dirt in them and need to be replaced or the rubber lines leading to them have collapsed inside and need to be replaced.. really kills the gas mileage uh!! chevy has had problems with rear discs on these vehicles,70%of braking is on the front,30% on the rear. therefore the pistons get little use and stick. there are stainless sliders the calipers move on,you need to clean and lubricate them,this should stop the brakes from dragging. I have a 1999 Blazer and my rear brakes were grinding so I replaced the pads and rotors but had the same sticking problem. They dont offer a rebuild kit for my calipers so I had to replace the calipers also.

Ford Tempo front brakes locking up?
I am having the same problem. Ist time overhauled calipers. Right front pads wore out quickly. Next replaced calipers, same deal right front is locked to the point where care shakes and cannot be driven. Thinking proportioning valve or master cylinder? Anyone ever run into this?
