drivers side brake is sticking, idk wth is causing it but its dropped my fuel millage bad and i need to know how to fix it
 
cal piston has worn down and jamed its self

gotten over heated and warped causinging the piston to warp and jam

piston has gotten gunked up with rust or muck

the slide pins that hold he calipur are frozen and not letting the calipur slide.

bad brake line, thats getting ate away from the inside. and wont let the presse release.
 
If in rear check that e-brake cable is not stuck,other than that canyoncritter gave good advice.
 
only way to find out is to dig in, front has less parts so easier to diagnose, but if the slide pins are worn and causing the problem you need to replace the whole knuckle...

also could be bad wheel bearings causing the rotor to be cocked screwing with the brakes
