34k miles and warped rotors

I'm just about to hit 34k miles and car has been exhibiting warped rotors since just before the last service. The only time the wheels nave been off the car has been at the dealer, assuming they rotate them as part of the service.

I drive a combination of suburban streets and stop and go freeway driving.

Me thinks this is way to early for rotors to warp. I know the rotors on my 03 TL-S were prone to warping.

Thoughts please. Car going in for service tomorrow.

I think my rotors warped or something went bad with the brake pads on my 3G before 15-30k miles. After getting them replaced I can't ever remember replacing them again in the next 210k+ miles. lol. I've got about 53k or so on my TLX and the brake are ok, but I sometimes sense a bit of shudder. Nothing like what I experienced on my 3G when they went bad, though.

I doubt your rotors are wrapped. You have an un-even build up of pad material. Try re-bedding the pads before you get the brakes worked on. Of course a brake place will be happy to take your money for new brakes or pads. If the dealer puts on new pads and beds them properly the problem will go away. But a few minutes bedding in your pads will probably fix the problem. Don't overdo it though. You can over heat your pads (I did it on my car several years ago... glowing cherry red).
