I think you need your brake calipers checked and maybe changed they might be seizing up Overtime the front caliper pistons do pick up road dirt and corrosion. Eventually they will not retract properly. With the wheels and calipers removed you can very gently press the break pedal forcing out the pistons. Inspect and clean but if badly pitted they will need replacing. If the back breaks are seized on maybe due to standing with the parking break on for a long time you can often free them by taking off the wheels and hitting the break drums. Use a heavy hammer and hit them on the left and right hand sides repeatedly until you can turn the drum. It makes sense once free to remove the drums and check out the shoes and adjusters.
