Yup .. me too..

The first time, I thought it was just a fluke... I figured I was doing some heavy braking after some hard acceleration, I felt lucky that the dealership was taking care of it under warranty. Now, it's only been 10,000 more miles and they have to do it again. I told the master tech -- if I need to purchase aftermarket rotors to prevent this from happening again, I will, but I can't keep doing this every 10,000 miles.

do you know if they put the new revised pads on the 1st time? if not thats your prob. but if they did then also think of this, when they turned your rotors the 1st time you drove out of the dealership with less than new rotors meaning the heat durability is less. so just because the turned rotors warped again, doesnt mean a new set will granded you have the new style pads.

Interesting ... thank you for the post. I'll ask them on wednesday if they gave me new pads, i don't recall them including that service on the receipt a while back when I got the rotors redone. this will be interesting to see how this pans out on wednesday.

Which dealership did u go to? I got my rotors turned twice also. For both times, they replaced the front pads for me. I usually go to Acura of Libertyville for service. Good people there.
