replaced yesterday. It came out of nowhere. I went to Dr. Piggie's in the morning and had some goodies put in, then on the way home(15-20mins expressway) the rotors were just gone. Moderate braking would make the front of the car shudder, and you could feel pulsating on the brake pedal(not ABS like pulsing). Naturally, the car braked like **** as well.
Took it to dealer who promptly gave me new rotors and pads(x4) in 1.5 hours. Every pad had a chunk out of it. Are the brake setups on these cars really that bad? This is only after 10,700 miles!
I'm interested in how common this problem is.

Re-lathed 2 sets on my A6 2.7Ts. Only fix was getting them cryoed contrary to popular opinion.

Often the cause for non tracked warpage is over torqueing the lugs . . .
many here have numerous track days on the original brakes. Many more have warped them at track days I think though.
