Felt rear brakes locking, took off rear drums found the left rear brake shoes had fallen apart. They were causing the rear drums to lock up. The shoes fell completely off the rivets and caused significant damage to the drums. The vehicle only has 45,000 miles on it I will be going to the dealer tomorrow.

: the contact stated the brakes lock up and have to be pumped to work properly. When the rear wheels were removed, the brakes fell apart. The front brake pads and shoes have been replaced twice. The rear brake pads, shoes, and drums have been replaced once. These components must be replaced every 20,000 miles. The dealership determined this is how the brakes were manufactured.
