Something wrong with my brakes, rotors, Calibers or something else don't know not a mechanic. What happens is I'll be going down the road and the car starts to shake badly so I'll pull over and the rotor on one side is red hot and seam to be locked up and until it cools down it won't unlock. I have replaced the rotors and brakes on both side three times this year, I have replaced the calibers and the distributer box once. If anyone can help please do this has been going on for almost a year and no one knows what to do it seams, I have had it to the dealership and three car shops. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

going by what you have said you said your brake disc on one side is red hot the cause of this can only be the caliper is sticking and not releasing the brake to allow the wheel to run freely hence but when you do replace the caliper sorry but you will need to also replace the pads and discs aswell as you may expierence brake judder due to a warped discs hope this helps

Sounds like the brake is binding on, on the one side. If you have replaced the caliper, as above, replace both front discs and brake pads and when you refit everything, make sure everything is moving freely and use grease when fitting pads etc. If problem persists, check you are relacing with correct discs and pads in case they are slightly different from originals.
