2007 gc rear brakes

[nuts]

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.

It sounds to me like you need to replace the rear brakes and turn the drums,If they are serviceable,If not replace the drums
too.I've seen this problem alot on the caravans.How long have the back brakes been on.

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.
