"The brakes wear out prematurely and are noisy way to early in their wearing out period"

"I have approximately 2,200 miles on the original rotors which were turned last time by the Honda dealer (Darcars Honda of Bowie, MD) and very recently, according to them they are showing some warpage again which I can feel through the brake pedal and are in need of lathe turning again.
