    Hello. I have a 2000 Tacoma and it’s been having an issue where the front brakes seem applied not fully but partially as I start to drive down the road, as I got further it seemed to let off some. It started to get worse to where I basically couldn’t drive unless I wanted to burn my brakes out. I ended up replacing the rotors, calipers, brake pads, and flushing the brake lines. The problem went away for about a week and then started acting up again, but not as severe. Sometimes even well driving they won’t act up at all, but then the next day they start acting up. I’m at a loss here and not sure what I should check next. I’ve read so many things that it could be…but wondering if anyone’s experienced a similar issue.
    *update- if I pump my brakes a few times before driving that seems to help loosen it a bit but still seems to be acting up.
    Also I noticed if the truck sits and idols for about 10 to 15 minutes the brakes pretty much lock up to a point where the truck won’t move.

    When they lock up crack brake lines loose until they release starting at the master cylinder then the ABS module and working out to the brake caliper to find which component is keeping them applied.
