I had a problem with the rear brakes, too:
On the driver's side, the slides were seized up and I had an uneven wear on the pads: The inner one was gone, the outer one nearly new. On the passenger side, on pad was worn parallel, while the second one was wedged by 1/8 of an inch!.
Finally, the caliper on the driver's side failed.
I replaced everything: calipers, rotors, pads.
But: I have AFTER the replacement dragging brakes, I can notice it in the fuel consumption. When I replaced the rear brakes, I also flushed the brake system and filled is with new fluid. The front brakes got replaced about 6000 km ago.
Any ideas?

Thank you
