Problem with Breaks (I think)

1998, Toyota corolla LE: Having a problem with breaking system. After about 10-15 Km of driving, when I press the break padel, it does not seem to come back to the original position. Seems to get stuck. Other things that happen during this are:
1. The steering wheel starts vibrating heavily
2. The car does not get a pickup at all
3. The wheel get very HOT, and
4. I get a strong burning smell

Please help. During my recent "Full-Service" @ the dealer, I was not warned about any break issues, so don't know what's happening.

Thanks a TON in advance.

check your calipers for binding or hoses acting like a check valve.
