I'm at 64000km and have noticed my rear brakes have been dragging for the last 15000km. I've serviced them myself twice by taking everything apart and cleaning it. The stickiness and dragging/grinding noise goes away for a few 1000km then returns and still seems to grind at low speeds to a stop. It sometimes drags a little bit heating up the wheel until I apply the parking brake a few times.
My Mazda service manager, when describing to him the problems with the rear brakes, told me that I need to replace both rear brakes (rotors, pads, hardware) and this was without an inspection of the rear brakes (said so on my oil change paperwork and 1 year perforation/corrosion checkup)
I use the parking brake all the time when parked (hence the name parking brake).
Could this issue just be a result of the parking brake needing to be readjusted because of my heavy use?
