I find that warping seems to be casued from PARKING the car not long after heavy breaking.

The rotors heat up but, the pads prevent that spot from cooling down and while the rest cools, when parked. I had this happen on the Grapevine going north. We stopped at the rest area about 3/4's the way down towards Bakersfield. I had to go into Bakersfield and find someone who could turn the rotors. This was with my parents fully loaded Explorer.
