Brake Problems F150 2000
Just got a 2000 4x4 and noticed on light brake application the truck lurches a bit when you come to a stop. Much like having drums that were out of round. I have not checked into the warantee but just figured that it would not be covered.

I am not sure if this helps. But off we go 
The reason for warped rotors could be that you may have overheated the brakes, e.g. by a trip to the mountains and logn downhill braking.
The other reason for warped rotors can be badly torqued wheels. At least unevenly torqued lugnuts can start a warp that can get worse e.g. in above mentioned scenario.
I have also seen rotors warp in serious braking action (to avoid accidents).
Normally you should not have to replace rotors, leave alone at the mileage you state. All I'd expect there would be pads. I have never owned a warranteed vehicle, so I have no clue if something like that is covered ounder warranty.
Good Luck
Cheers, George (same rotors at 155k miles!)
