How many miles do you have on them?

I have had 2 sets on the front and one set on the rear. Both have developed severe warp when heat builds in the front in under 5k miles. If they are cold, no problem, but once heat builds I get increased pulsation that is proportional to heat soak. Yes the break in procedure was followed to a T. The truck does not see severe duty, only pulls a camper a few times a year. I do not have a frozen caliper and have not submerged the front while brakes were hot in any water.
I called Powerstop both times to explain the situation. NO help. Only if they have a crack. The old fronts did not, I have not pulled the current set off to check. I am not happy with them. I am just inquiring if anyone has had the same experience.

Oh ok. I developed my warp in the old brakes while pulling a 1500lb atv trailer and had the bed and cab loaded down. It hasn't been a problem with these new rotors but I do not have their pads on the front. I am due for front brakes in a few months and I had every intention of using Power Stop again. Seemed to be good quality for the money. I'd like to try EBC, but they are a LOT more expensive.
