If you have turned the same set of stock rotors twice, you need to get rid of them. I bet they barely or don't pass minimum thickness. When you turn a rotor, you remove material and then, they become more susceptable to warping. The stock rotors are junk and warp very easy. If you are still under warranty, have new rotors installed. I had mine replaced at 35K miles and they lasted 15K miles. If you are out of warranty, time to look for a good set of brakes. The fronts are required and the rears can wait, if you like. I am using PowerSlot Rotors and OEM GM Pads. I have 35K Miles on them right now and no issues.
