Yes, just bought a 2007 3010 trans 4x4, and the brakes started grabbing. Took it to the shop and shoes were in good shape. The grabbing stopped after I
bleed off at all four wheels. I don't have much play in the brake peddle. It has
done this twice and I have to bleed the brakes to free them.
Nothing appears to be worn, but sure would like to know what is causing
them to grab.
All cars have the brake system designed to make a loud screeching noise when the pads get low. Most people do not do the proper maintenance on their brakes, which is lubing of parts. This maintenance ensures even wear of the pads and or any problems will be noticed. Most braking is done with the front brakes so rear brakes tend to last much longer. Five plus years before having to do the rear brakes is not unusual.
Prone to it - NO. Do these parts, brakes and suspension/steering need maintenance and repair..sure.
A brake specialist is someone who determine common brake problems, repairing and replacing brakes, and performing routine brake maintenance. I believe that every brake dealer does have one on site to help with any problems customers need.
It is Mobil 424. Kawasaki sells it as a wet brake oil un their own brand but it is the same oil used in tractor brakes.
Brakes can be replaced at almost any maintenance center car shop or place with a certified mechanic. You can even do it yourself if desired, and you have the tools.
Better isn't that simple, it depends on your priorities. Hydraulic disc brakes with big rotors are most powerful, followed by hydraulic rim brakes. Lightest are V-brakes (rim) brakes. Least maintenance are drum/roller brakes.

When changing brakes, a diagram will help the person make the correct changes. A diagram of the rear brakes on a Chevy 3500 will be found in its maintenance manual.
