I'd check for sticking calipers. More specifically, make sure the guide pins on all the calipers are properly lubed with brake caliper grease and moving freely. If that checks out, inspect the front brake hoses. If the bracket attached to each hose that bolts to the strut is really rusty I'd suggest replacing them. A rusty bracket could be restricting the flow of brake fluid through the hose which may cause your caliper(s) to not release. The logic here is that your brake booster & master cylinder force fluid through the crimped hose when you push on the brake pedal, but when you release the pedal there's nothing to force the fluid back through in the opposite direction. The bad hose basically acts like check-valve.
