Angry Brake problem

Hi everyone:


My Yaris is 2nd-hand, so not sure what happened in its previous lifetime.

I have a problem with the rear-passenger brake: occasionally, it catches stronger than the rest, to the point that the wheel locks. It happens when I first pull out of the garage in the morning or when I drive through rain and/or snow. Caveat: it is not consistent - it does not happen every morning, it does not happen each time I drive through cold & wet weather.

This is what I know & tried so far:
- I don't use the hand brake at all
- my mechanic replaced the brake cylinder, which did not resolve the problem
- I experience the same behavior with a rented Corolla a while back.

Has anyone experienced anything similar? If so - what was the cause & the solution?


Your feedback will be highly appreciated.

Thanks for help.
