Some times a mixture of rust, dust build up and poor fitting can do that if the pads are not free to slide. I bought a Daihatsu Sportrak that had recently been fitted with new pads and they were binding on the way home, when I pulled it apart I could see the hammer marks on the back of the pads...

Time has been in short supply but I had a free hour to look at the sticky brakes, surprisingly the rear brakes are not stuck on, the handbrake works as it should, the front calipers are sticking. Only had time to do the drivers side but a good dismantle and wire brushing has that one freed off...
