I have been informed that the rotors on my 2007 Mazda 5 need to be turned because they overheat and cause warping. It is not reasonable that rotors must be turned at about 17000 miles, I have seen on the web the numerous complaints about similar situation. They state that the rotors are a normal wear item and thus not covered. I have had many vehicles throughout my life and this quality and life of these rotors are unacceptable, vehicles average well over 30,000 miles before any type of maintenance must be performed.
