Front BRAKES dragging - calipers, pads, rotors changed

Hello all,
'01 Viggen, 92k miles. Front calipers were changed ~1 yr ago because one of them was dragging (once heat was in them, car would stop itself without touching the brake pedal, with a cyclical screaching sound). Everything seemed fine until last week, when, of course, I was on a 600 mile trip. In traffic, I noticed that dragging sound and the car would come to a halt without brake pedal contact (I also noticed poorer than usual gas mileage). I drove home, to find completely worn rotors (Viggen slots gone).
Just had new rotors and pads put in today, shop said calipers installed last year (by another shop) are working fine, nothing seized. Everything was lubed up again. Brake fluid was changed a few months ago. On the drive home, I could hear the brakes dragging when driving by walls.
What gives? Very frustrating. Any advice?
Thanks!
Rick
