rotors warped again. 3rd time. how long can we take?

Yeah, they got warped again. 3rd time. As I recall the first time was about 17k, the second about 34, and now at about 51k. Seems like they go bad every 17k.
Question is, is there any way I can get the dealer to fix it for free (maybe "lemon law" or something), or do I have to buy new set of rotors / pads ? If I have to spend $$$, what should I get (defenetely not buying stock after this).
BTW, used to drive 92 Camry before. Got it 70k used; put on 50k on it without even changing the break pads.
Such a shame that maximas have such terrible brakes

It would be best if you just replace the rotors with like Stillen X drilled or slotted. Personally I went with the DBA X drilled and slotted from Precisionbrakes.com. I've abused them until they turned blue and they are still holding up great with 20K miles on them.

or just get brembo blanks ~50$ each and raybestos quiet stop (QS) ~50$ at pep boys.

it was allot of talks here about this, some ppl think its rotors, some - what OEM pads made of sh.ty material.

I sugest change both
