You probably have a seized wheel bearing/hub assembly or frozen brake caliper - you can remove the wheel hub/bearing assembly yourself in about an hour with common hand tools (an impact wrench will really speed this up) - you can rent the wheel nut removal socket at most auto parts stores - you will have to have an automotive shop with a bearing press to remove and replace the wheel bearing ($30-$60) - if the caliper is seized - replace the entire assembly (and probably the ruined brake rotors and pads)
SOURCE: left front brake caliper locked up, what causes
the small rubber boot around the piston is either off or has a hole, which let water in and rusted the piston to the cylinder
also can be caused by a hot caliper submurged in water
SOURCE: Front brakes not releasing properly.
Sounds like the caliper needs replaced. Sometimes the pistons lock in the caliper and cause the brakes to drag. When the mechanic changed the brakes before, he pushed the pistons in all the way to accomodate the new brake pads. Now that they are wearing back down, it is getting to the warped spot in the caliper and starting to stick.
SOURCE: emergency brake locked after pull release handle
handbrake jammed on somewhere ,could be front cable ,because the rear cable is pulled by the compensator so if it was the rear one then i would expect only one cable siezed and that is normally the kerbside one.
SOURCE: 2004 expedition, when brakes applied steering wheel vibrates
check the idler arm on the steering drag link
Testimonial: "Thanks I been busy I'll check it out this weekend and get back to you."
SOURCE: The right front brake drags and gets hot
check brake hose where steel clamp is wrapped around it it usually rusts causing it to crush hose if there is no rust visible it will be modulator
