Default Driver wheel won't turn without a fight. (03 Sedona)

Recently replaced discs and pads with all new stuff. Didn't bother turning the rotors as they were fairly warped.

Just within the last few days things are going wrong on this Sedona.

Passenger CV axle failed, so I replaced it. Now the other side is leaking grease (a sign that the other CV axle's death is nearby). This doesn't pose as much of a threat as the current issue.

Squeaky noises and the horrible smell of brakes (or something else bitter?) fill the van and the road with stink.

The current issue is the driver side disc/wheel doesn't move when jacked up in the air. I give it some throttle and it catches, but stops immediately.

The van is driven at least 80 miles a day, so this has to be fixed 2 days ago when the noise showed up.

Can the caliper be seized already? It's so new, though! Worked great for 2-3 months after the new pads and rotors, then all the sudden this...

I made a video to show what is going on. Hey, at least I know it's not limited slip differential!

Surprise surprise, everything I replaced is failing again.

Enough is enough. Last time I replace the axles and bearings on this junker. I've had enough Kia in my face and more than none is too much.

Blasphemy!

I did end up replacing the pads and rotors......again.

How do you guys stick with these cars so long? Is it cause you're stuck in payments?

Bearings usually last well, are you sure they are not overtightened and causing the failure so quickly?

Are you the first owner? Do you know its history? What I am trying to say that there might be some lack of maintenance... or some accident history.
I do not know why CV axle would die so early. In 6 years old car? I would not suspect almost any problems...
