Brakes won't release

Hey guys, sometimes whenever i start to put on brakes and let off my front brakes will not release until i pull up the brake pedal. If you guys have any idea on what could be doing this please let me know. As i said it doesnt happen all of the time, and its totally random when it does it.

Thanks

Sounds to me like either..

1. The brake pedal return spring is extremely weak with age, or missing.
2. The brake pedal assembly needs a nice greasing.

Or a combination of the two. Check the brake pedal assembly out and see what condition the spring is in and grease the assembly.
