Sounds like the pistons are getting stuck. Do a disassembly and check for it.

Why don't you locate the problem first? Get the car off the ground and figure out which corner(s) is/are sticking. Then go from there. You need to do a lot more diagnosing yourself before someone can give you any kind of helpful information.

So why don't you check if that caliper is seized?
