If you never had brake fade, your rotors didn't get hit enough to warp, and even with loss of brakes it probably still wasn't hot enough. It is likely poor wear, a manufacturing defect, or uneven pad deposits on the rotors causing pulsing.

I bought a new Ranger in 2005.
that thing was in for brakes three time locally in 30,000 mi.
The very first visit, I suggested to the service writer that a caliper was stuck.
What they did was turn rotors and drums on each visit. Drums and rotors are certainly gone now!
Shortly after that last visit, my father passed and I took a trip to Las Vegas.
Wouldnt you know, on a hard stop on the freeway, that truck shook so badly I thought the headlights would fall out.
Got to Vegas and dropped it off at a Lincoln dealer.
Gave them a short history and told them to fix it or dr it up Ford’s ass.
Immediately after the services, the Lincoln dealer called for me to pick it up.
New drums, rotors, shoes and pads. ALSO, new calipers.
Root cause—-Stuck Caliper!!!
Never again did I have a braking issue. Did replace pads and rotors at 130k just a few weeks before selling it tho.
There is another auto related story that runs concurrently with this one.
Both being resolved while I was in Vegas for the funeral.
Long story involving General Motors Performance Parts, and a $6000 engine that pumped oil into the exhaust system. I’m talking oil dripping from the mufflers weep holes.
