AnswerHey,
You might have a caliper that is dragging or a collapsed flex line. IF a caliper doesn't retract or brake pressure doesn't escape properly the pads will drag and overheat the rotor. YOu need to get a laser thermometer and take if for a drive. pull over and check the temperature of the front rotors and if you have one thats hotter than the rest (the backs will be cooler than the front) you know what to do.
