Front drivers side rotor too hot to touch.. THAT is the problem..
You have one of several possible problems.
#1 Sticking caliper
#2 Collapsed brake hose going to said caliper (internally collapsed hose will allow brake to grab but not allow fluid out fast enough when you let up on the pedal.
#3 Sticking brake pads, this one is a stinker, brake pads fit TOO tight to star with then rust in place. I had this happen more than once and never noticed any pulling to either side.. My fix is to remove the pads and file/grind the slide areas of the pads until they move easily in the caliper grooves.
I agree, fix your brake!
