A few months ago i replaced my front rotors and pads. A few weeks later my brakes were staying on whether i had the pedal pushed or not, this would last about 5 minutes then be fine. So I replaced the front calipers and they startes doing it again, I know when they are going to stick cause the pedal gets harder and harder to push until its solid as a rock, itll last a few minutes then go back to normal, any ideas? Is it a line problem.

hmmm... it doesnt sound like a line problem. i doubt theres any leak because you would be experiencing the oppisite. but i would check the brake pads and make sure theyre placed correctly. did you do it yourself? they have to be pushed in right with the little clips and the "<" wire thing.

I didnt do them myself, but i know they are installed correctly, i stood by while the mechanic did it. Theyll be fine then the pedal gets harder and harder then they go back to normal makes no sense to me
