Question regarding brakes on a car - troubleshooting
Having a hard time/wanting a second opinion regarding an issue my wife is having with the brakes on her car (2005 Malibu, btw). Long story short, once her car has been driven a bit (i.e. warmed up) the car starts pulling to one side and the drivers side brake gets very very hot. I know this because once driven around for a while stressing the brakes, the passenger side brake rotor reads around 200°F and the driver side reads over 540°F and the passenger side caliper reads 139°F and the driver side is 248°F. So, this tells me the drivers side brake is most likely stuck and not releasing. So, I purchase a new caliper and replace the driver's side caliper. I bleed the brakes and take it for a drive. The problem almost seems worse as when I get home, the drivers side caliper is now smoking it has gotten so hot.
So what could it be from there? The booster is obviously working and I don't believe it to be the master cylinder as that controls front and rear, not each brake independently. So this leave the ABS module...right? Anything I'm missing in this troubleshooting process? Lines are clear, each one I did flowed great when bleeding them. Hoping for some expert opinions knowing the guys here, thanks in advance!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
