Rear drum brakes sticking
#2
It isnt a common issue but in my experience ive just taking apart the brakes and cleaned everything with a brush and brake clean. After that make sure everything is put back togeter correctly and lubbed up. You should make sure to do a regular cleaning on brakes all around at least once a year. Brake dust is a pain when it starts building up. Drum brakes are a pain to begin with but once you do them a few times you get used to it.

A good friend of mine had a similar problem and after we took them apart and gave them a really good clean and service, it hasnt happend since. It is also good to use the E-brake on a regular basis so the cables and joints dont get seized up on you.
