Default 2004 civic lx 4door front driverside brake keeps locking up

It's only the driver side... or thats the side that goes first... after using the brake for a while the brake will gradually lock up.. I dunno what's wrong... I've searched but people were having problems with all 4 brakes not just one... help anyone?

It is most likely that you have air bubbles in your brake-lines. The air is interferring with the distribution of the brake-fluid, placing more hydrolic pressure where there isn't any air.
Did you or someone else recently change your brake fluids?


Do yourself a favor and take the car to a shop to have the brakes inspected and the fluid replaced.
