Hello,I have a 2007 gc and when it is cold out,(-5c) and colder,the rear brakes seem stick on .After a bit of driving they free up. This happens after the car sits for awhile and does not matter if the parking break is used. I was told that the brakes needed an adjustment.I let the dealer do the brake work.It was fine for a week, but now the cold temps are back and I have the same issue. any recalls on these cars? What can I do, thanks,George.:frown:

The brakes have 20,000 miles and are 4 wheel disk. No drums.

Your rear brakes are a disc/drum combo. They are rear disc/pads for braking but the emergency brake is drum/shoes. If you take the rear rotor off and look on the back side you will see where the small emergency brake shoes slide against the inside of the rotor. A very crappy design! I have had to take mine off and adjust the brake shoes cause they were sticking on mine.
