maybe a ceased caliper, when was the last time you had your brakes done or looked at? have you taken them off yourself to take a look at them?

I would also check to see if the e-brake is properly adjusted also, I had the same problem. Also, you should replace the pads since they heated up like that, they could crack and fall apart with time. Has the rotor turned cherry red after a drive?

Default wow...`

My R R caliper was messing up too for a bit...but come to find the caliper was there since 1994...lol anyways, you can buy a caliper rebuild kit like i did for about 12 bucks. It's only temporary and its performed better than it did before. it's just a pain to do...alot of patience is required. But i'm trying to save for a nice set of endless brake kit.

Might as well replace the rotors while you're down there.
