Although I am not terribly knowledgeable regarding car mechanics, I have done some research. A brake rotor is what actually works to stop your car when you step on the brake. This takes place when the brake pads squeeze against the rotors when braking.

What would cause brand new brake rotors to warp repetidly on a 1996 Buick Le Sabre?
Break rotors heat up very fast while drive and stopping, todays technology in my sense isn't the best on rotors. If you have a heavy foot and brake hard, that will contribute to warped rotors. Sudden stops will also case warping.

That way they have time to brake in.
