Just do what I said, it will fix the problem.
Just suppose that there was rust, using them once, or 100 times since the initial 10 miles should have cleaned off the rust buildup. Yes, just get the brakes real "HOT"...you'll have rotor and pads problems for sure.

Guess it'd be only natural to over-think this, but since it's under warranty it'd be real easy to have the dealership check the rotors for runout, or stubborn rust stains, then they could tell the customer to get out there and get those brakes "HOT"...
