Default Brake Problem

When my 2002 Accord 4cyl is started for the second or third time each day, the brakes lock up and cause the car to shudder violently. I replaced the front left caliper thinking that this was the problem. After this replacement, I noticed that all of the brakes were rubbing against the rotors as if I was lightly depressing the pedal.

If I stop the car for a few, the brakes return to normal and is fine for the remainder of the day. Each time I have tried to have the problem diagnosed, the brake tech states that he does not see any problem.

Any help?

I've seen this problem of brakes dragging when some 'skippy lube' places dump P/S fluid in the brake master cylinder. The fluid warms up and expands.
The only other common cause I can think up is that the master cylinder could have been replaced and the push rod is not correctly adjusted.
