Default Brakes have a problem

The brakes seem to have a problem. When I drive they start to seize and become really tight. A bit of smoke comes out and the brakes continue to sieze (to the point of stopping the car). It seems like it may be the driver's side front, because when I opened the nipple for the caliper, it loosened and I was able to drive. After a little bit, the brakes continue to sieze (only if I apply the brake). I tried bleeding them clockwise (starting at the driver's side front and moving backward). I also tried bleeding them from farthest to closest caliper. I even replaced that caliper (driver's side front) and it still gives a problem. Any suggestions

You bled the calipers, replaced the caliper closest to damage point... Wow I am stumped. I don't think SS brake lines would do it. Do your rotors need turning? Pads need a changing? Obvious things, but just a try... Sorry I can't help more. Let us know when you do figure it out.
