Check the rotors. Look for a spot where the pad sat while the car was 
parked for a long time. There will sometimes be a rust spot there 
which will grab the pad each time around. It may wear down with use, 
or it may not. If it doesn't, the rotor may have to be turned or 
replaced to fix this problem.
