I suspect a locked up caliper or calipers. Three weeks ago, my right front caliper was siezed semi-applied. The car started to shake from the rotor getting hot and warping. By the time I got home and into my parking spot, I had a very poor brake pedal, nearly hitting the floor and the odor of burning brake pads was obvious. Brake fluid boiled. Next morning I had a pedal again since it cooled overnight. The car would barely roll in neutral from the caliper doing what it was. Replaced the right caliper, all 4 rubber brake lines and flushed the brake fluid. All is ONE with the universe.
