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?

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.
