There are two things I have come across in the work shop related to this fault. No1 the pistons in the brake cylinder is gummed up and not letting the brakes release . Have to clean and fit new kits. No 2 the flex brake hose rubber inner passage broke down and acted as non return valve. Had to fit new hose and bleed out air.

Rear brakes on a 1998 chevy cavilier
The rear brakes will adjust or tighten as the brake pad wear. When you drive the car in reverse this is when the brakes adjust. As suggested in the prior post, inspect the rear brakes. Pay attention to a wheel device that has ratchet. I suspect someone did a brake job and put the adjustor on backwards.
