The rotor and caliper were replaced about two years ago for this same problem. At that time it appeared the rotor was too thin and allowed the piston to stick . This rotor has never been turned and the pads are less than half worn. After sitting overnight the brakes seem to work fine again. This is the first time the proplem has occured since the repair work.

sounds to me like you may have a restricted brake hose. open up the bleeder when its stickin and see if releases. if so you need a new brake hose.
