Brakes squeal - very loudly. I have replaced the front rotors and pads. The rear shoes are brand new. The van has been in the shop on several occasions but they can't figure out what is wrong. The fact that the squeal cannot be made to go away leads me to believe that there is a design flaw. Please advise if you have heard of a fix or a recall.

Rear brake failures occur when the vehicle is parked at an incline and the parking brake is depressed. Releasing of the parking brake with the brake pedal depressed causes one of the rear brake cylinders to extend beyond their normal operational range, resulting in failure of the rear wheel cylinder. This problem has occurred on four separate occasions. Procedurally this problem does not occur when the vehicle is not parked on an incline.
