Rear Brakes Dragging

My 2019 Chevy Z71 Silverado rear brakes drag after the vehicle sits idle for a few days. I took it to the local dealership, they were able to replicate the issue. They sanded the pads and rotors and installed new pins and bolts into the callipers as well and returned the vehicle to me.  I drove it two days later and the rear brakes were dragging again. I returned the vehicle to the dealership and they did replicate the issue I was describing again. They said they needed to install new pads and rotors, but I'm awaiting parts. I have yet to get the issue resolved. The dealership seams not willing to try to fix the issue. Has anyone had this issue with this 2019 Silverado Z71.

Seems to me they are trying to resolve the issue, twice now. It is possible they can replicate it but not understand exactly what is causing it so they are trying in steps to fix it. Replacing the parts they suggest is a good first step, no?

They ordered you new brakes.  Sounds to me like they are attempting to address your issue.

 

Your 2019, is it the new body style or an old body style?  Old body is the same style as a 2018.

All depends upon how old pads are worn, measure and if uneven thickness front to back could be bad caliper guide pins, a sticking caliper piston, sticking parking brake shoe (I believe the '19s use multiple pistons/caliper), remote chance it could even be a sticking valve in the brake proportioning valve.

 

.02  If pads are worn evenly, problem is not the pads and they are wasting time.......installing new pads alone won't solve the problem.

My 2022 is doing the same thing. It seems & sounds like the parking brake isn’t releasing all the way or brakes are adjusted tight . Idk  but Chevy is about to lose me …again. We’ve been driving Fords for past 10 years with no issues & tons of miles. I buy this Chevy & issue after issue. Disappointed for sure.

Did you bring it into a dealership? The brakes should be under warranty.

Anyone find the fix for this? Changed rear pads with aftermarket. both rear brakes keep adjusting tightly to the rotors. I’ve been on the phone with one of the dealers trying to talk through it going on for a few weeks now. I swapped the pads to oem from aftermarket and that fixed it for a couple days. Now it’s back doing it again.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Disassembly may be Required!   Every blender makes claims but do  you ponder those claims? What was really said? Was it true?  Motive for saying it? What does in infer?  Is that inference true?    Let's do one.    Claim: Made from shear stable base oils.    What was said: Base Oils are shear proof.   Was it true: Yes.  ALL base oils are Newtonian.    Motive / Inference: To imply the fully formulated product is Shear Proof.    Is the Inference true?: Most fully formulated multigrade oils contain Viscosity Modifiers or VM's, sometimes called VII or Viscosity Index Improvers. There are four types. One is in fact shear proof but it also has a bad effect on extreme cold flow and is restricted to use in specialty oils. A second has limited shear called a 0-5 SSI polymer. Meaning its shear is limited to a range of zero to five percent as reported by the ASTM D6278 Shear Stability Index test. A few high end oils, like Torco SR-5, use them and brag about it profusely. Actually all that use it point it out. The last two shear dramatically and are often marketed as a 'feature' of the product aiding the oil to meet fuel standard requirements of ever stricter rules. One shears more than 5% and the other up to 20%. As you make guess, cost is directly linked to shear down and as such the majority of oils use the cheapest organic polymers sold to make grade and pass stringent tests.    PPD's or Pour Point Depressants also shear a bit, only a few percent and hide inside the 0-5 SSI capabilities.    The blender knows he can not out engineer Stribeck. Physics is not a suggestion. But he can wordcraft the unsuspecting toward believing a false claims INFERENCE. This is LEGAL. It is COMMON, and it is EFFECTIVE.

      2006 Silverado HVAC sensor location in dashboard

      I don't recall ever dealing with one on an '06 and back. It may not even exist on that. I can't remember for sure.   Any kind of ice in or after the evaporator is normally due to low charge with both a clutch-cycling orifice tube system, and a TXV system.

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      Engines wear. It is unavoidable. So the question isn't if it will wear out but rather WHEN it will wear out. That question is about rate and RATE is a HUGE problem for almost everyone; but not in the way we may think.    Unless there is something drastically wrong with your powertrain, wear is exceedingly slow. It doesn't wear out in minutes or hours or days or months but in years or even decades. Ditto sludge and varnish. Humans are an impatient lot so to see the benefit of a truly superior product you may have to wait a very long time. Most will get bored first and trade before they reap the benefit.   Humans are not companionate creatures when it comes to those we do not know. We don't care what happens to the second or third owner as long as it doesn't happen to us or someone we know and actually like.   Sad commentary on humans but it is what it is. That thus, then, there is no advantage...to or for you if the above paragraphs adequately describe you.    BUT if you are a buy and hold type and patient enough to reap the rewards of your labors then that thing that is happening that you haven't yet seen, but will; can be abated by such products. Seals harden and leak with time and lots of it. Rings stick after thousands of miles of a slowly building plaque of varnish.    Then there is this. This didn't happen over night and this poor fellow knew when he removed the cover and not one second before.   Not "aware' isn't the same thing as "isn't happening".        The above was typical of the Ford 361 and 391 bus motors on Bulk Pennzoil Mineral Oil products on 3K mile OCI's at about 60K miles back in the 60's and 70's at the Anamosa School District when my Uncle took over their maintenance program.    This is Pepper at @ 165K on 5K OCI's using Group IV/V Full Synthetics.      HM oils will help the first but not the second.    Then again if one used..... ah, ya know.....

      Awesome you got it sorted! That's a new potential issue I'll have to mark in my book of issues. Thanks for the feedback.
