Default 04 Accord front brakes lock up-Need Info?

I was checking fluids and I though the Brake fluid looked a bit low. So I add some (to much) and now when the brakes heat up (5 min or so) they start to lock up. They get worse as they get hotter. The Brake peddle is very hard. It maybe back brakes as well. They were just fine before I decided not to leave well enough alone. Thanks for any info

Get something like a turkey baster to remove some from the reservoir. Then get the brake pads checks, they may be worn down. The fluid level in the reservoir drops as the brake pads wear down.

A leak will also cause the fluid to drop; however, a leak usually is visible if that were to occur.

Not sure whether the OP took the suggestion. Not a safe situation to leave.

Happy Holidays Ang.
