Brake Disc Caliper Problems of Saturn VUE

Started smoking the 1st time. Replaced brakes,rotors and break caliper on passenger's side. Ran and drove fine for about 1 week and did it again. All brakes and all that was replced were smoking hot and brown in color letting me know that all parts over heated. My car has been parked since 2014 and not used until I hear a recall. I already know this problem will arise continually by all the information I have found. Dealerships can't even find the problem. What does that tell you.

2004 Saturn Vue underwent comprehensive vehicle test including braks at Saturn of new brunswick on 6/4/05. On 6/24/05 while at full stop in traffic ( slight inline in road), vehicle started to roll while break engaged. Immediate response was to press harder then pumped severeal times without results. My vehicle struck the vehicle in front in the rear at which time I put the vehicle in park and turned of the ignition. The distance of the roll was approx 8 feet at approx 3 mph. There were no injuries. The brakes were operational afterward but reported the failure and returned the vehicle to Saturn of new brunswick. The finding on the service invoice states, "tech verified low pedal, found pedal travel to be too much. Tech removed rear drums to clean and adjust rear brakes, reinstalled and found to be ok at this time. Tech also checked front brakes and calipers, brakes ok".
