Angry LGT Bad Brakes

Name: Marc Poulin
Make:Leg GT Lim
Milage: 3300
Time out of Use: none
Prob +Likely Cause: Brakes have a "grinding" sound and pulse badly, can feel sitting in passenger seat---Thinking that rotors prob warped as sat on dealer lot for better part of a year
Mods: none
Submit for Warranty: Yes
Reason for denial: give it a little bit they will free up...just build up on hte rotors.

Story:
Bought the vehicle 2 weeks ago with 3100 miles on it as it was a dealer demo.
Wanted an STi but the family will not fit, so got the next best thing in a family size wagon. Great deal on the car, but it had a noticable pulse in the brake pedal, especially under hard barking. Comes along with a slight 'grinding' noise for extra effect.
Talked with dealer before the sale about it and they said give it a week and if it's still there we'll see what we can do. Called last week...give it a little time...is it getting better? NO Call again this week...give it a little more time.... Explained that a car costing this much should not have crappy brakes...I want NEW rotors and pads....they're looking into it.
