My rear brakes seem like they are always on. Pedal for the most part seems fine but sometimes when depressed it is at the top of range? Also when stopped at a light when taking off I get a noise that seems like the brakes are stuck? Not sure what is going on. Any help or info would be appreciated. Thanks

 

Check your emergency brakes.I have a 98 and had a yearly inspection done on it.The mechanic checked the rear brakes and said everything was fine.Now when i left the shop,i felt the rear brakes were slightly on.I though the shop might have adjusted them up and the would seat themself in time.But after a few days one tire would lock up randomly ,so i took the tire off and the emergency brake cable end was being pinched by the shoe,which in turn would engage the emergency brake on that tire.So i just took a flat blade screwdriver and pried the cable end out bit and it fixed the problem.
