Why are the brakes locked up on my Nissan Frontier?

Something like this can be caused by a kink in a hardline. The kink allows pressure from the master cylinder through to the calipers, but won’t allow it to release back to the master cylinder. The result is that with each pump of the pedal you are locking more and more pressure into your calipers until they lock up.

Why are my brake calipers not releasing properly?
Water and other dust can come into the handbrake wires and cause them to rust. This will cause the brake calipers not to release properly when you release the handbrake. To fix this, you can try to lubricate the handbrake cable and the arm on the caliper and move it backward and forward a hundred times to see if it gets better.
