Default Sticky Brakes

Anyone get problems with brakes sticking on? I drove off this morning and there was a horrible grinding noise so I pulled over then drove a bit more and then something seemed to free up and the noise went away?

Any ideas?

Happens to me everytime I jetwash it and leave it to stand ...... once I let it stand for 5 days after I gave it a good wash and the O/S rear brake just would not let go!

I had her in reverse and clutch out until it went BANG and released ... and I shot backwards at breakneck speed!!

Well I was able to drive off but it made a damn horrible noise until whatever released. Thought the car was about to fall apart and i've only had it 3 weeks!

I will. At least it's under warranty for 3 months or at least 50% of the bill anyway!
