What causes brake binding on my Isuzu Ascender, 2003 model?

The brakes sometimes bind, driveing feels like you have your foot on the brakes, doesn't do it all the time. Its a 2003 Isuzu Ascender.

If your car don't have four wheel disc brakes : the rear brake self adjuster will do this some times , maybe after you have back up and hit your brakes it will tigthen up the rear brake shoes and they drag a bit till they wear down , in this case your emergency brake would only pull a short distance to set , meaning the rear brakes are adjusted way out

if your car has 4 wheel disc brakes : you probably have a caliper sticking from time to time

The Isuzu is a all disc brakes, no drum brakes. When problem occurs its on all four wheels at the same time. I suspect its the brake master cylinder. Either a weak spring or sticking valve.
