Well, car guys being car guys, there's always some hijinx being pulled on the forums. I do hope we here on EBPF have kept it down to a minimum, certainly this thread is a bit of an exception, and I hope you take it in that spirit. People are often bound to their experiences, until an exception comes along to make them rethink, and hopefully add to their own knowledgebases rather than denying it.
Let's see if the "runout" thing is a phantom or for real. A specialty shop is probably the best bet TBH. People who fix wheels for a living, day in/day out, are probably going to know what to eliminate and what to suspect.
Brakes ... so many variables here. OEM rotors with non-OEM pads are usually the best combo for the 2010-12. On occasion, the brake booster and master cylinder do fail. Maybe these are early stage warnings that unfortunately fall within the variance zone of "normal".
