Ford had a problem with the pistons in the caliper becoming out of round and not being able to return to the released position when the brakes are released. The piston keeps pressure on the pads and causes drag on the rotor. Not saying this is the problem as it could be as simple as a broken down hose not letting the fluid return to the master cylinder. Open the bleeder screw to release any pressure in the caliper and see if it fixes the problem temporarily. If it does, replace the hose. If not, replace the caliper.
