3000 miles and a new set of front rotors!

I now reach 3000 miles and the dealer is putting on new front rotors. I find this odd because I bought it with 340 miles on it. I drive easy since I'm trying to break everything in before I start giving it hell. Anyone have simular issues with breaks?

did they squeal much? what is the reason they gave? does it really matter since its covered under warrenty?

well, it's not the spelling so much as the starting of a sentence with "And" that bothers me

Are you sure you didn't buy a Mitsubishi ?
Everyone I bought needed new rotors. They are famous for their undersized rotors.

I have had it in twice for brake noise. I was a tech before I went into sales 7 years ago. Haven seen this in other cars this early on. I think design problem. If it does it again I will go aftermarket.
