Rotors already getting warped?!

I can not believe this. I haev 1200 miles. I had to slow down last night from 75 to 45 in a heart beat due to some idiot cutitng me off on the highway. He was going that slow! Anyways, the steering wheel started to shake bad getting down to 45 and after that it continued when I hit the brakes!!! After some easy driving though its back to smooth again and this morning its smooth again!! What the heck is the deal?! I can't believe these brakes suck this bad! What can I do?

I have had no problems with my brakes. I think the CL-S has great brakes! Only 5K miles, but so far there great.

might be the pads?? uneven wear can cause the shakes. And if the pads get worse can groove the rotor pretty bad.

I'm sure the dealer will cover whatever it is under warranty.

If it was your rotors it wouldn't spontaneously "get better". Once warped, the steel is warped.

Don't freak.
Drive your car.
If it breaks, the dealer will fix it.
