Front brakes both sides heating up and dragging

sounds like time for a new master cylinder....

all I can tell you otherwise is service your brakes at least annually, for reference brake fluid is pretty much clear, it's not black, black means burnt and it also gets moisture in it.

Have you found a fix for you’re problem? mine started to do the same ting with all the four wheels after swapping pads and rotors.
about 20min into a drive my brakes Are grabbing and getting hot, but some times it can be only one wheel, and another day it can be three wheels, and then another wheel the next day, today it eas all four.

I have checed the same thing as you, everthing seems good.

I have started to get ‘’service brake system’’ with a red brake light symbol in the dashboard when i turn in the ignition, but it disapear when i turn the engine on.
I’m lost here.

It would be best if you start a separate thread and list all the things you have done to diagnose your problem.

Your problem might have a different solution.

might be time for new calipers up front. or a diy rebuild. not all that hard to do really. compressed air does help with the job to blow the pistons out.

I did full calipers, rotors, master cylinder, brake hoses, full flush and new fluid. Still kept heating up. Replaced power booster and problem was solved. Good lord, what a fiasco.

I changed my power booster and it runs fine now.

I learned something new today, I would have never imagined the power brake booster would cause brake drag

I’m wondering if the debris from the master cylinder seals clogged up the ABS module.

The master cylinder seal was ruined and it also messed up the power booster. I replaced the booster and now everything is working well, thank God

I think you should do a complete brake flush and put fresh fluid in and also replace your rubber brake hoses. You might have crap in your brake lines.
