Front brakes lock up when parked
I've had multiple occasions where I've got into the car (2017 Grand Sport Conv) to back it out of the garage after sitting for a few days and the front brakes appear to be locked up. You can hear a loud pop when they let go. Yesterday I had to give it a fair amount of gas to get them to let go. Any idesa what could be causing this? Not using parking brake, just parked in level garage. TIA!

Yup, heavy dew, wet rotors, any moisture will lock the rotors up to the pads. As long as you're not on an incline, it won't be the emergency brake helping you with hill hold.
