are you serious, asking Yahoo answers.
Gee,it could be some kid in a crazy house answering right.
OK: no more joking,
1- caliber pistons sticking
you never said if your owned it for 10 years and if you ever serviced the brakes? now that's serious.
does car pull to one side ? Important.
2- Should not be MCylinder , it is designed to NEVER DO THAT ok. But if you havent changed out all the fluid in 10years almost anything can happen with Insane corrosion.
3- ABS, well , you need a factory expert for that.
ABS is different on each model car.
Just bleeding the ABS takes a scan tool I cant buy. or afford.
there that is a start.

Any recent brake repair? Anti lock brake system malfunction? Vice grip pliers left on a brake hose? brake light switch recently replaced or adjusted? it only takes 1/4 inch to close off the fluid return to the master cyl. and you did not state if this happens with cold brakes or after the car has driven a couple of miles. I take any brake problem so seriously you and I need to e-mail...or IM

Brake fluid might be contaminated with oil, with a clear cup of water take a sample of brake fluid from the master cylinder and put it into the water, brake fluid will dissolve and disappear, oil will float and bead on the water.
if good, could be master cylinder or rear brakes dragging.

rotors are warped and sticking, either see if you can have them turned, or worst comes to worst, changed. Have you had to come to a dead stop from high speed lately? any severe, hot use of brakes will cause them to warp, and although it seems odd that it would happen on all four wheels at the same time, stranger things have happened. Good luck and happy motoring!

IT COULD BE ANYTHING AT THIS POINT....
TRY FINDING AN INDEPENDENT SHOP INSTEAD OF THE DEALER OR A CHAIN STORE BECAUSE YOU WILL BE OVERALL MORE PLEASED WITH THE FINDINGS AND THE SERVICE.
LEAVE IT THERE WITH THEM SO THAT THEY CAN FIND THE PROBLEM FOR YOU, IT WILL BE A LOT BETTER THAN JUST REPLACING PART AFTER PART AND NOT DOING ANY GOOD.
