Yes, my front calipers are locking up while im driving. ive tried changing the calipers and bleeding them often and it doesnt work. you can feel the foot brake pedal barely have any play, its like its already grabing the brakes.
ill be driving for like 5 mins then it starts grabing and slowling me down and ill have to pull off the road and pump the brakes a lil. that helps just a lil, then it would start grabing again.

anyone know about this problem??

ur calipers are probably seized. maybe rebuild time or buy new ones. fyi, i got some

check the vacuum line that goes to the brake booster. If not try and bleed your brake master cylinder

Adjusting the rod in the booster should help you out.
Before you do make sure you know how your brakes are supposed to be.
cause you might have to adjust free play, ebrake and whatnot after.

its this a 100% stock setup? upgraded front calipers with a stock BMC can sometimes be an issue...
