Do the wheels spin freely when they are in the air?

It could be bad brake lines. What year is the vehicle? How many miles?

No noise of any kind probably rules out wheel bearings. Probably caliper pins are rusty causing the brakes not to fully release or bad brake lines.

usually on a car, is it normal that wheel nuts become hot? but not to burn fingers, right?

Michael, they can get pretty warm but if they are hot enough to burn you that's another story. When you raise the vehicle and spin the tires do you feel some resistance? A little is ok.

no all is ok. I took time to see all the break system and wheel bearings. on the passenger side, castle nut for bearing was unscrewed and since I screwed it some noise when I'm running with the car.
went to see mechanic. no oil contamination, no overheating. the only one thing that could be is master cylinder that not working well.
thanks
