Default Brakes sticking!!!!!!

2017 ram 1500 replace all four corners with powerstop brake setup. Did the brake in as directed. Front brakes sticking. They sent me a new set for all four corners. I replaced them and the front brake calipers. Still sticking. Brought to dealer. They replaced the brake lines and had me return the calipers and get a new set.l (we did this three times!!!!!!). They flushed the whole system and guess what it’s still doing it. So now I’m at the second dealership and they want to replace my calipers for a fourth time. I need some help!!!

I would suspect the master cylinder at this point. The piston is not retracting.

Hi Trever,
We certainly understand how frustrating this may be and would like to look into your situation further to determine how to best assist. Would you mind providing us with your VIN via PM? Thank you in advance.

Do the caliper pistons retract when applying force on the pistons and loosening the brake hose connect at the caliper? If so, the issue is not the caliper but rather something in the hydraulics to the caliper.
