Anyone had a front caliper sticking?

Had noticed a slight vibration the other day at about 40 mph. Not obvious on all roads. And sometimes a very slight pull to the left on certain roads depending on the camber of the road or the surface. Then yesterday I smelled hot brakes at a stoplight. My left front wheel was quite warm to the touch.
From all the fun times when a front caliper hung up on my old '84 C900, I knew I had a sticking caliper.
Anyone else experienced this? I still have some extended warranty left on this car, so I can get it taken care of, so I'll get new rotors and pads (both would be due later this year anyway). It is amazing what a difference that slight added drag makes on the car. It is hardly noticeable as a pull to the left, but it definitely makes the steering heavier.
Any thoughts out there?
Noel
