As I mentioned above my brakes started to pulse around the time I reached 7,000 miles. When I checked the rotors the inside surface felt like a race track with grooves.
I called my dealer and explained to them that I have two child seats in the back and that my wife doesn't really push the car, etc. They told me to bring it in to take a look at it and that it may be covered under the warranty.
I dropped the car off last Saturday. After a few hours, I got a call from the dealer and was told that the rotors were in such bad shape they decided to replace them under the warranty instead of resurfacing.
I spoke to the mechanic who performed the work on the car. He told me that based on the wear on the pads being very minimal and the fact the outside surface of the rotors were smooth whatever happened wasn't due to us abusing the brakes. He said it was most likely from driving the car for a very short period of time in the cold weather without giving the components a chance to go through their proper heat cycles.
I think he was right on the money about that since this past winter, on most days, I drove my daughter to daycare and came home. The whole trip took less than 12 minutes.
Btw, I don't believe my problems were due to over torqued wheels since up to this point the wheels hadn't been removed from the car since I purchased it.
Anyway, sorry for the long post. Here's the picture of the right side rotor I was able to take.
Those spots on top are pieces of the rotor that actually broke apart.
