Lesson learned, inspect and lube rear brakes every year. Maybe every two.

Thanks for your reply! I just find it weird that there was no warning to this happening, I drove my car to work that morning and it was completely fine -I ranged in speed from 30-60 because of the roads I take and took turns and everything again, everything was normal. I just had the brakes changed about 5 or 6 months ago which is why I didn't think something like this should have happened. I don't know about blaming Chevy but I just have seen a number of posts with the same kind of car and the same exact issue with the brake/drum/bearing .. just looking for some answers I suppose - the issue is fixed and the money is already paid so there isn't much I can do from here but I just wanted to look around and see what I could find out.
