If the parking brake is seldom used (like if the car has an automatic transmission) it is possible to go out of adjustment after a while. Make sure the parking brake is working and that it actually gets used from time to time to maintain rear brake adjustment.
Thank you very much for that research! That sounds like part of the problem. I still think the fronts must drag if they are gone after less than 2,000 miles.
