Default 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
