What brand brake pads are you using?Do you have rear drum brakes?

Yes its got abs and traction control,have tried disconecting the abs and still the same,abs light does come on when they overheat,no codes or faults show up on code readers.

Maybe the wrong brake fluid was added at one time causing fluid pressure to be trapped in the brake lines causing brakes to drag.So is front and rear or just fronts ober heating?

Front brakes only,also had a full fluid change several times.
