Question type: Maintenance & Repair

what would cause  my brakes in the front  just to lock up out  the blue and then
release after some time. one of local auto parts said it might be brake lines are
getting corroded and to replace them well i bought them and caliper rebuild kits
to see if this will help what do u think?

In most cases when it locks up but over time releases the rubber brake line is the culprit.
