1995 Dodge Neon-problem with brakes?

I have the above car and have had a problem with the front calipers not releasing right away when I take my foot off the pedal. It takes about 7-10 seconds for the brakes to fully release. Is fixing this as simple as bleeding the lines or is it mechanical problems with the calipers or brake booster.

    first id try bleeding them,you may have dirt in the brake lines and it may have contaminated the fluid,that will cause this to happen,if that doesn't help it ,id replace the calipers on it,i have had to replace a few of those before,they have a tendency to stick when they get some age on them,try bleeding first though,this usually works,good luck on it.

    personally you can try bleeding, but most likely the answer is calipers and/or hoses. i have yet to see a sure fire way to determine which of the 2 are the culprits.
