brakes binding

Hi I don’t know if anyone can help with this

I have owned a 1996 4.0 auto jeep grand Cherokee ltd for the last 4 years and its fantastic will go anywhere and do anything

Problem started with the mot in Jan this year everything was fine then on the way to the mot station I started to loose power I then realized that the front brakes were binding

Failed mot

The following day new front disks and new pads all round and stripped both front calipers and cleaned
brakes all well went for mot again and passed

2-3 weeks later all four brakes binding on the way home from work
next day stripped and cleaned the 2 rear calipers

fitted new calipers to front

brakes were fine a week later front brakes binding again
to be honest had it she has got to go

2 days later totally forgot the brakes were binding and drove 60 miles no problems next day drove 4 miles brakes binding on front

whats the fault here the only thing I can think off is the master cylinder and why

Are the brakes getting hot as hell when you're driving?

I had an issue where the brakes were dragging, heating up and they got tight as hell to the point that I couldn't move the Jeep until they cooled off.
