I changed brake pads 2 weeks ago. Yesterday they stuck against the rotters. I looked at them and the brakes were tight against the rotters on all four wheels. Before that they were working great. The brake peddel will be all the way up and the brakes are engaged, tight against the rotors. They will not release on all wheels. Can anyone tell me what can cause this? Thanks

Occassionally after replacing brake pads, the brake caliper tends to "freeze" which means it's constantly pushing the pads into the rotors instead of backing off when it should. The only fix to it is simply replacing the caliper that has frozen.
