I had to replace the front rotors on my '03 Accord after one attempt at
turning them. On mine it seemed that there was some kind of residual
stress left when they were manufactured and the rotors would rapidly
warp again after being turned.

I put new Raybestos brand rotors on mine and it cured the problem.

Overall I have not been impressed with the quality of my Honda. Rattles
have never been fixed, transmission replaced under warranty, brake
problems, etc.

Honda has not lived up to it's reputation in the case of my car.
