Wheel and brake pedal shake

AFAIK no manufacturers (even Nissan) warrant rotors. They are a consumable and are subject to misuse and abuse.

Also, I don't believe that you can 'turn' slotted rotors.

I agree with what the others have said....this sounds like pad deposit build-up. Another driving technique to consider is to keep your foot off the brake after you have come to a complete stop. This will reduce the heat soak and deposit build-up, especially after hard driving.

Yeah, I definitely never stay on the brake. I did this in my 350z (enthusiast so regular brakes) and the calipers/rotors lasted past 100k miles.

I don't think it's tie rod ends or bushings, as the brakes were nice and smooth after first installing the new rotors and bedding them.

Just a thought but I have seen rotors warp a week or two after replacement when the wheel lug nuts were not torqued to spec, or torqued in the incorrect sequence or brought to full torque in one pass rather than in stages. Impact guns are notorious for warping new rotors.
