Ok guys, since the Dealer cant figure things out, it's time I asked you guys again and now I have noises instead of just smoke.
Ok this is under normal driving, if I drive fast I have to pull off immediately. Just pulling off the highway from 70 makes the noise before I get to a stop and you can smell it burning. Alright...so I stop to eat in town and this means that the car has a chance to cool down, well on my way home I hit every single light. Well since this is the case, you guys can imagine the brakes...well this is from 35 or 40 to stop, and its not a hard stop at all. Well after about the 5th one I can hear the brakes again, and it makes this psst psst psst, sound over and over and over. When I take off I can still hear it, just no as loud. This only happens on the right side of the car, and i noticed today the car pulls to the right a little bit, but it takes it awhile. I even tried it in the left lane, since all roads are angled, it still pulled right. So do you guys think the brakes are rubbing? What on earth could make that kind of a sound?

sounds like your brakes are rubbing excessively. or maybe a failing wheel bearing? since you get an overheating smell I'd make the dealer check the lube on the guide pins and/or replace the suspect caliper(s)
