Angry First major expense, is my dealer ripping me off?

Well the front brakes on my '04 limited coupe have been squealing uncontrollably for a week and I could not take it any more. It would squeal while driving not just braking.

Dealer says the pads wore a groove into the rotors and that they all need to be replaced. I said that probably the calipers caused this and that it should be covered under warranty and they said no, brakes are only covered from 12 months of purchase price.

Total charge to fix... $575 Car only has 23,000 miles or so. Never had a car have bad brakes after 23,000 miles. My Porsche S2 is still on its original rotors after 17 years. Ugh.

Anybody have a link to TSB or anything that might help?

Thanks.
