Brake problem
Hello
Have a problem with my brake pedal. When I drive for 15 minutes, the pedal remains wedged when I press it and the pad still braking lightly. It does not go up any more. Braking remains correct but I have to raise it with my foot. Have an idea? Thank you

Your brake pedal should be spring loaded off towards you.
Check pedal operation to ensure that spring works and there is also a bushing on the brake pedal pivot point, make sure it is not worn.
You can disconnect the pedal from the brake booster to check pedal operation. Sounds to me as if something is mechanically binding up on the pedal return.
