This recently happened to me. The rear brake adjusters became frozen in place. I had to spray brake cleaner at the treads. I let it work in for awhile. The adjusters are tied in with the emergency brake. You need to repeatedly press and release the e-brake pedal to have the adjusters click up. I then drove my vehicle and immediately noticed the pedal was high and it actually stopped rather quickly. If you have no luck you will need to disassemble brake shoes and springs and manually free and lubricate adjusters. Good Luck!
They can if the brakes are out of adjustment or have a mechanical problem.
The brakes automatically adjust every time you back up and use the brakes to stop. The automatic adjustment is common in most automobiles.
Time for new brakes or adjustment.
There is no adjustment on disc brakes. Replace them.
The brake shoes may be out of adjustment causing the shoes to contact the drums prematurely. You could have a proportiong valve issue, but try adjusting the rear brakes first.
The 1985 Toyota Tercel brakes are equipped with an adjustment bolt. Turn the adjustment bolt to raise or lower the brake shoe.
Premature pad wear.
Maybe poor adjustment, or faulty calipers? Also ensure you replace with good quality pads. If the roaters are sticking the brakes are applied all the time.
Just had the front brakes and rotors replaced, rear brakes adjusted, 2004 Kia Sedona, $537 at a Kia dealer. You can get it cheaper from a good local mechanic, maybe $350.00 - $400.00.

excessive heat caused by using them too much brakes out of adjustment.
Hand brakes are attached to the rear brakes in most vehicles. Start with making sure the rear brakes are in good working order and adjusted. Most vehicles will have a cable adjustment connected with the front cable that leads to the hand brake. Make this cable adjustment after the rear brakes have been inspected and adjusted.
