  Several possibilities; faulty brake caliper (replace the caliper), dirty / contaminated brake fluid (replace / exchange the brake fluid in the system). Try the many on-line auto parts sources, such as; www.autopartswarehouse.com or www.rockauto.com for the replacement parts. For example, they (RockAuto) list the brake caliper from around $47.00 for your vehicle.

  Easier to pin point if you tell a little more . Is it one caliper doing it or just the front or just the back or all 4 ?
