It sounds like there is a bigger problem. A sticky of frozen caliper maybe? Pinched break line?

If your caliper is constantly clamped it will ruin an OEM or an aftermarket rotor.

Your post is a little unclear, are you only having problems on one side?

After three trips to have this repaired under warranty, what is the dealer telling you?

Like said above, I would get the dealership to replace the whole brake system--calipers, rotors and pads. No way it should be going through rotors that fast.

If you had them replaced 3 times under warranty. You should contact Toyota and explain your situation. This sounds like a special circumstance and should be honored since you have been having problems out of it. If you don't get anywhere with Toyota file a claim with the Better Business Bureau then Toyota will deal with you.

Good luck I have been through a similar situation and you have to let your voice be heard by someone other than the dealer.
