I've been experiencing this off & on for about 10 months now, was mostly on longer trips when I use the brakes more. Now it does it on short trips to the supermarket...it started with the right rear so I replaced the caliper and it was fine until now...now on short trips both rear brakes hang! Can that caliper I replaced go bad that quick(not even 1500 miles ago)?...what's my problem guys? any help will be much appreciated...Mahalo!

There maybe nothing wrong with the calipers. The pads may not be sliding freely. Make sure the pads will move freely in their "track" and ensure there is some lube on the slide points.

Thanks, I will try that...anyone else with some advice?

i had front brake dragging on my 05... replaced the pads, and lubed the slides.. i had to beat the slides out on the brake that was sticking... they were so rusted.. just sanded and made smooth.. and added lub.. been fine

Besides cleaning and lubing the slides, you should also flush the brake fluid every 3 years. Pep Boys has a dot 3 synthetic that supposedly draws less moisture.
