2017 GS w/ 7500 miles. Just got back from Rick Hendrick. All four rotors out of lateral runout. I'm told this usually occurs when the lugs are not equally torqued but there are other causes. Replaced them all under warranty
. Also had them check for bent wheels, both rear wheels are bent. Won't cover under warranty but I expected this. Going to repair and replace with forged wheels. I'll use the alloy for winter tires or something.

I always found these threads funny, but just for fun, I tried this bedding procedure a few times over the last 10,000 miles. It didn't work, of course. I just did a long drive up and down the mountain today really getting the rotors hot, doing the procedure, then allowing to cool. Then trying again. I probably did it 10 times over the course of 3-4 hours. Absolutely no improvement whatsoever.
I started to feel my warped rotors at about 15k miles. I finally ordered new rotors and pads, but I figured I'd humor these posts and try it again. Going to take measurements and videos of the rotors as I take them off.

Secondly, if your rotors are warped, the bedding in procedure won't do any good. The bedding in procedure is meant to bed new brake pads to your rotors, and sometimes to eliminate a squeal, not to straighten out/fix warped rotors. Even turning the rotors probably won't help depending on how bad they are warped, which sounds like they are pretty bad if you can feel it. You more than likely need to get new rotors.
