(Parking) Brake Seizing In Reverse? XC90 2004

My 2004 XC 90 (5-cylinder) has suddenly developed a bug.

When reversing it seems like the brakes (rear) are seizing. This morning I went to back-up and I got this grinding noise and the rear seemed to lift slightly. I drove forward a bit and then reverse was fine.

I've read that issues relating to parking brake linings may be the cause.

Any thoughts?

I have an appointment in 3 days to have it looked at. Any safety issues here?

Thanks for your advise.

Kyle

    On our '04 V70 the parking brake lining delaminted from the shoe and locked up the rear wheel. It could be worth pulling the disk to have a look.

    Not a safety issue, but it could be cold/humid related. Does this mean you actually use the parking brake? Most people just shove it into park and the brake shoes never get used. If you use the parking brake, the hardware could be getting a bit rusty and slower to release.

    Unfortunately, to grease the moving parts, the rotor must come off. The good part is the brakes get adjusted after putting the rotor back on.

    I have to do that to my 854 ASAP, as the parking brake does not work.
