Why would a Oldsmobile Achieva rear brakes lock up under normal braking?

There are two reasons for this. The first is the break calibers need bled and the second is the breaks themselves need adjusted back.

Are rear drum brakes used during normal braking?
Certainly, all four wheel brakes are used in normal stopping. However, the lions share of the stopping power is from the front brakes, yes.
Why is there vibration when braking and abs comes on?
The ABS motor is pulsating which is applying and releasing the brakes to avoid wheel lock-up. This is normal.
What types of brakes does a hybrid car use?
These are the cars that use two types.The normal hydraulic friction brakes as on every automobileRegenerative braking where as the car slows the batteries charge. Neat!
What causes the brakes to pulse on a 06 1500 two wheel drive Chevy?
ABS. The Automatic Braking System will cause the brake to pulsate when braking in hard conditions and on slick surfaces. This is a normal condition it is the result of you vehicles ABS system working properly
Why do your brakes squeal during rain?
I wonder if it is because the Prius' regenerative braking system slows the car which means the brake pads are used less than a normal car.
Why does the abs engage during normal braking?
There is a problem with you ABS and the computer is telling you, you need it checked by a service technician. If not your brakes may fail. Advise you do this soon Good Luck.
What causes a pulsating feeling in a Grand Cherokee when hitting the brakes at 50 or higher mph?
lateral runout. your rotors or drums are warped and need to be machined or replaced depending on the thickness. if your slamming the brakes this is normal its your antilock braking system functioning as it should to keep you from sliding.
How SBC is different from ABS?
SBC (as Mercedies Sensortronic) Does not use Hydrolic presure provided from the driver to apply the brakes it instead uses a pump and valves to apply normal braking ABS is (straight through) under normal driving. this means when you press the pedal you create the hydrolic presure that directly applies the brakes such as in a conventional system. But when you brake hard and enter lock up condition a ecu controls valves and a pump that isolate the pedal from the brakes to control wheel slip. This is why in some cars the pedal pulsates when the abs is preventing lockup. Under ABS ECU fault condition normal braking is maintained but wheel lockup will not be prevented
What would cause a 2003 maxima to shake when hitting the brakes?
A common reason is that the front rotors have warped. Go check out WikiAnswers on the topic of "warped brake rotors". Rotors should wear out smoothly in normal driving. Use of the brakes that generate lots of heat (hard braking, riding the brakes) will result in warped rotors.
How do you unseize brakes?
The seizure of a vehicles braking system is a serious condition. There are many types of seized brakes, but the common cause is from a stuck wheel cylinder or brake caliper's pistons. The first step is a thorough inspection of the brake and hydraulic components. If brakes cannot be cleaned, freed, and returned to normal motion replacement of the components is required.
What causes the abs system to activate under normal braking conditions?
If the brake pedal goes down lower than normal, it will activate the ABS system. Check the fluid and for leaks. Also if there is a bad ABS sensor or brakes need adjustment or replacement, it will activate it also.
Why does your tires get hot?
A certain amount of heat is normal due to road friction however excessive heat could be caused by underinflation or a problem with braking system i.e. frozen caliper or mal-adjusted drum brakes
