you had better check that out thoroughly, it isn't normal for that to happen.
Front and rears should be drum brakes, and theres really no valve to malfunction.
My first thought is that the cylinders have overextended and cocked sideways locking the shoes against the drum, this could happen if the shoes were extremely worn out, or the assembly was put together wrong.
Second thing to check isn't even the brakes, your front axle may be locked.
The next time the front brakes are locked up, open one of the brake bleeders up front. If the pressure releases you have a restriction in the hydraulic system such as a pinched brake line or a collapsed brake hose. If you open the front bleeders and the front brakes are still locked up and they are disc brakes, you may have stuck/frozen brake calipers or stuck caliper slide pins.

Where is the valve to blled the brakes on a 1995 jeep yj?
It is acutally right under the front suspension. I found it easier to lay in front of the front end and reach up instead of reaching down. The only trick is the Jeep must be in neutral and the emergency brake must be released to bleed the brakes. It's a Jeep thing I guess.

Why is my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo brakes getting hot?
Hi im Mike from Mn, I also have a 2000 jeep grand Cherokee with front brakes that are partially engaged so that they heat up. I got them to release after pulling the fuse and relay for the ABS IN THE FUSE BOX under the hood. The brakes work ok now and have not stuck back on but the ABS system is no longer working. I went to the Jeep dealer and they said they had never heard of this problem before.They said if I can make it happen again they may be able to figure it out. Any info you have about this problem would be greatly appreciated Mike
