Warped front brake rotors, causing brakes to vibrate upon application.

While driving at 60-65 mph the steering oscillates. The dealer is aware of the problem. The brake rotors were cleaned at 220 miles. At 600 miles the brakes were replaced. At 11, 959 miles the rotors were replaced again. The consumer is still expereincing a prolbem with the vehicle.
Had to have original rotors replaced when the car was only 1 month old, at 2 months had to have another set of rotors, put on car, that set is still on the car but have had a problem with the brakes squealing for about 5 months now, car was taken to service dept. And brakes were cleaned squealing stopped for two days, now there is a slight pulsing again, car will be taken to service dept. Again, it seems that the brake problem may be connected to the idle speed , the care picks up speed even when you are not giving it gas. Which in turn causes brakes to be used more then they should be.
The brake drums/rotors and seat arm rest were replaced, has 800 miles on car . Please describe .

Cruise control will not hold the vehicle at a set speed when going down hill. Vehicle continues to accelerate well beyond preset speed. Vehicle will accelerate 15 mph over preset speed. Brakes rotors warp constantly. Rotors have been resurfaced or replaced over 5 times. Engine speed will not decrease when accelerator pedal is not released. Dealer claim all Taurus with 3. 0l duratic engines have this problem. They claim no technical bulletins have been issued to resolve any of these issues. This requires constant braking and certainly contributes to accelerated brake wear and possibly the rotors warping so often. All of these problems have been reported to the dealership and none have been resolved. Nhtsa has countless complaints in your electric files regarding these same issues, yet no recalls have been issued. Why?
