maybe that the brake fluid is contaminated (water, dirt or rust) and your calipers may have siezed up?

You should do a brake line flush, see if that helps but most likely the calipers will need to be replaced or rebiult, and the rotors due to excessive heat may have warpped!

If ya need new calipers try www.rockauto.com for new remanufactured calipers...rotors too, way cheaper then stealer.
