Gm engineering is not your problem. Vehicle maintenance and repair is. If the brakes are dragging that badly with all those new parts then there have either been incorrect parts used or there is a problem with the installation. There are some specific procedures related to the proportioning valve and ABS system that need to be followed. Do some homework or take it to a shop. If you continue driving it that way you’ll ruin all those new parts and have to start over.

I have had Japanese cars with over 200 k miles never got problems already spend too much money and time I would never buy a Chevy again
