The brakes even stay locked temporarily after releasing the brake pedal. There is a significant POP when they do release. Going in to winter and I am at the point of just disconnecting the brakes on that side.
If the brakes are locking in that way I would suspect you have a partially blocked flexible brake line on that wheel. When you apply the brakes you can force the fluid through but when you release them the fluid will not flow back up the line and is locking your brakes as a result.
You will not see deterioration from the outside of the hose because brake hoses deteriorate from the inside especially near each end.
If you cannot fix it yourself take it to a brake specialist to diagnose.
Look forward to a civil law suit and a criminal prosecution if you disconnect your rear brakes and have an accident which I can absolutely guarantee you will.
Testimonial: "Thank you for your valuable diagnosis. It was very helpful. Now to tear in to this thing."

sounds like maybe you didn;t bleed the brakes and there is air in the system. I would start with that

Sounds like you need a master cylinder. If the fluid was full when this all started then I would suspect a master. Check the rear and front brakes for leakage. You'l have to remove the rear drims to inspect the whel cylinders. If no leaks are found its the master cylinder
SOURCE: I replaced the master cylinder in my 1993 Buick
You have a 16 year old car and I would bet the brake fluid has never been changed. First thing to do is replace all the brake fluid in the system and bleed the brakes. Start at the RR then LR >> RF and end at the LF. The contaminated brake fluid may be causing the calibers to stick. You may end up having to replace the calibers. It is also possible you have a brake hose that is collapsing. If so the brake hoses will need to be replaced. It can also be the brake booster causing this but that is rare. Possible but rare.
SOURCE: Brakes uneven and jerky
this could just be "sticky pads" or there worn right down to there limit
you still need to strip the brakes out to check them out,,if there sticky put some copper grease on the back of the brake pads,,not on the brake pads!!!! only the backs fo them this stops then sticking and also from squealing,,
