1997 Rodeo Brake Issues

As I'm driving, my brakes stiffen with use. It's as if they have problems disengaging after each stop, making the brake pedal stiffer and acceleration more difficult. It feels like it is the driver's side front brake but not necessarily the others. When the brakes have been allowed to cool, or the car sits off/parked for an extended period the brake disengages and the cycle starts all over again.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Caliper? Master cylinder?

Might be a sticking caliper. Have you pulled the tire/s to check for uneven wear of pads? Try relubing the caliper pins. You won't really know anything until you pull the tire off and check. It should give you a starting point.
