Backing Up feels like brakes are on.

I have a 2001 Escape with a V6. When backing up especially in the morning it feels like it is dragging almost like the brakes are not releasing. In drive it runs fine and sometimes in reverse it runs fine. Has any one seen this before?

Thanks

do you put your emergency brake on at night, it could be sticking a bit

No we hardly ever set the emergency brake.

ok then maybe u have a rear cyclinder staying out or caliper siezing up never heard any compaint about that, but check your brake hoses front and back seen alot of them splitting right at the top as the rubber bends, seen 10 or 12 in the last month or so
