2007 saturn vue , Replaced front rotor and caliper, 3 weeks later burned up again? Could it possibly be the hub bearing causing the problem?
I would say that the brake hose is collapsed inside, I've also had a bad proportion valve, but that was rare.
The caliper is not retracting properly to release the braking pressure. You need to have the calipers replaced.
Or, if you drive with your foot on the brake peddle, stop that. You are pressing on the brake and engaging the brake while driving.

This sounds like the master cylinder isnt releasing pressure I would change master cylinder.

Have you checked your wheel bearings? When these go out you can get a harsh grinding noise. This sounds like that is what it might be. Does it happen when you are going fast/slow turning/going straight? I know you said it's inconsistent but the more info the better. However, if I had to bet, based on what you have already said, it's your wheel bearings. Let me know if you have further questions. Thanks for using FixYa!

Testimonial: "One oclock in the morning, im still working on this POS and he answers my question. Does your mechanic answer the phone at 1 a.m.? Thanks!"
SOURCE: left from brake caliper sticks at times wheel gets real hot
You brake HOSE may have deteriorated, and is not allowing fluidto drain out of the caliper piston. I found out after a piston, caliper, two disks. The wheel would LOCK UP it got so bad.
