Amen.  I've had this happen on two cars, and it is maddening.  My  rule now
is somewhere around 7 years the rubber lines get replaced.  They  are fairly
cheap, and it beats the heck out of overheating your brakes.  It  also avoids
the endless tedious bearing and brake adjustments, trying to figure  out why one
wheel will intermittently heat up.

Check  out all your brake hoses. They may look good on the outside but
can suffer  from inner degradation such that they collapse internally
