Dealer is telling me it’s normal for rotors to warp in a big SUV like that as they get hot spots from braking. I drive all highway approximately 72 miles a day on the highway. I have 7600 miles on the vehicle.

Getting them HOT (driving with your foot on the brake) and then driving thru a large water puddle can warp them - but not normal driving.

I had a Honda Accord that had rotors that warped within a few thousand miles. The replaced under warranty. YMMV based on dealer.

I feel an ever so slight vibration at times. I thinks it’s due to the collision mitigation system slamming the brakes when I get to close to an @sshole making a slow right turn. Hard momentary braking can warp them too.

honda brakes suck, if they don't fix it under warranty I would
buy after market pads and rotors

Wow. I had that problem with my 2010 Pilot. Braking was weak and I warped rotors on one long downhill. I replaced them with ventilated 3rd party Rotors and never had an issue after that. I thought they had fixed it in later years but I guess not. I'll consider same swap if I warp them or when they need replacing.

I was hoping the SUV brakes would be better then the cars but
it appears not.
brakes went on my 2014 Si after 70000kms and it
was a standard and im old.
my 2003 silverado had its first brake job at 165000kms
and towed with it regularly.

On a different note, I had 10 Subarus from 1980 to 2012, the rotors are thin, when the tires were rotated by tire dealers, they used air guns at over 100PSI to tighten the lug nuts, I used to get warped rotors after 3-4 thousand miles, took a Subaru mechanic to tell me to insist on hand torquing to the specs in the owner manual - best advice ever, just saying....?

Get another dealer. Rotors warp due to extreme heat buildup due to hard prolonged braking/road water splash, excessive uneven tightening of lug nuts, defective metal. Your problem is less likely defective metal. It is either driver behavior or who ever last installed tires. Perhaps more conditions as those are ones i am aware of.

I always re-torque my lug nuts after a low paid grease monkey rotates my tires. I’ve seen the caliber of techs in the service department. Scary! Kind of like watching how hot dogs are made. You’ll never want to eat another one. Don’t look behind the curtain!

I also mark my tires before rotation to make sure that they were truly rotated. Techs get incentives for completing jobs under the allotted time. That’s why they always cut corners. They also get dinged on return visits, so don’t accept subpar work.

Same here on the tire marking before rotation.

I also put small marks on the valve stems. I did catch the dealer not rotating the tires on my first oil change.

FWIW: I put brakes on my Element (rear only) at 105,000, and when I traded my Pilot in five months ago it had 107,000 miles on it with the original brakes. Honda DOES NOT have a brake problem as compared with domestic “Big Three” manufacturers. Poor braking habits contribute to most premature failures.
