Parking Brake problem

The calipers on the rear brake do not release when the parking brake is released inside the passenger cabin. In some cases the brake was on so tight that the right rear wheel dragged on the road. I had the vehicle back to the dealer 6 times but they were unable to get the issue corrected. The issue is much worse in the winter but even now in the spring when I put the brake on there is no resistance for the first 4 inches so I know it is still not operating properly.
