Not Ranked
This happened to me on my first drive. Everything worked fine for the first few brakings, and then my front brakes LOCKED on while I was on the freeway. Had to drive 'through' the brake to get off the road. Left it for about an hour and everything was fine, brakes worked perfectly for a while, and then it did it again after 6 or 7 brakings. Turns out that I had overtightened the linkage so that the pedal was not returning completely by ONLY ABOUT 1/16". This was enough (as Strictly... says) that the cylinder was NOT returning fully, and was gradually increasing the pressure each time until it was just locked on. Over time, the pressure eased and I was able to use the brakes again.
Spotted it and fixed it quite quickly, but ONLY 1/16" was enough to cause my problems.
Doesn't sound like this is your issue Tru, but you never know!
Good luck
