I wonder if this is possible? I had a similar issue with my '08 Malibu with not only heating up the front rotors, but also causing some vibrations while driving at highway speeds. For some reason on my Malibu, there is a clearance issue between the tilt steering column and the brake pedal arm. When the steering wheel was tilted down towards the bottom of its travel, I could actually see the brake pedal move downward and apply the brakes on the car.
