More than likely a stuck caliper or wheel cylinder. You'll need to replace it. The caliper is installed with pins type bolts that allow it to "slide" back and forth. Make sure to use the brake grease available when you install. This can also cause the caliper to get stuck.
i have a 93 nissan and the front brakes are getting hot when driving
pressing on the brake pedal lightly for a short distance
If a calliper is "hanging", it could be causing the brake pads to press against the rotor and overheat the brakes. You may want to see if the calliper is dragging.
You may have a defective tire or your rear brakes are out of adjustment and not releasing properly
brakes need replaced
just keep driving, if your have not checked your brakes then i would get a professional or you could take off your tyre and look at the brakes. consider getting new ones if they are looking damaged

Test brakes lightly after driving through deep water.Brakes may pull to one side or may not hold at all.Dry brakes by driving slowly in low gear and applying brakes.
Wishful thinking, as a trapped mouse is cheaper than getting a garage to sort your brakes out - probably the pads need replacing.
A burning smell from a car's brakes means that you are braking very hard or there is a electrical short circuit in the car. Another reason for a burning smell may actually be coming from the car's heater.
