I imagine the original poster is long gone by now.

Ultimately, I think his expectations are unreasonable. Discs (I refuse to call them rotors - I'm no American) are a compromise. The qualities of stainless steel are inferior to other materials. It's softer and more prone to over heating. Other materials like carbon are far more expensive. Likewise the pads are a compromise. So a metal that does rust a bit if left is the compromise on a road car.

Add in the solvents some use to clean their wheels and discs rust even more. Get over it! Give the car a quick run to clean them up if it concerns you. As for a warranty claim - get real!

My wife's automatic Yaris has just had it's 1st set of discs after 115,000 miles. It's also only had a few sets of pads in its 16 year life.

European vehicles have always used cast iron from my observation with filthy black wheels resulting

The 'pacific rim' countries seem to be more into less moisture absorbent steel.....maybe it's more of the California influence....white teeth and clean wheels ))))

Unless the are using something fancy like carbon ceramic they will still be cast iron.
