Hey it's kool, It was feisty though lmfao. Anyway Good luck with the car OP.

I am having this same problem of my front brakes dragging. So I had rotors turned, installed new brake pads still had the problem. So next I figured calipers where sticking and replaced those, after driving to gas station and back both front sides where dragging again, and when you take your foot off the gas car immediately slows to a stop. Is it possible that I also have the same problem with the front rubber lines being bad the car had sat all since thanksgiving. Any and all help would be appreciated...

You could also have a bad hydroboost...

Is there a way to test the master cylinder or hydroboost?

Had this same problem last night. At the service center now. Wish I'd read the forum first. Thanks for the info.
