Whats your milage and how did you find out they are warped. If the cars in warrenty they will most likely replace them, that is at my dealer anyway. But I cant say ive ever seen one come in with warped rotors, any year or model.

The car has 7500 miles on it. I just put on my new exhaust and wanted to take it out. Whenever I go to brake the car thumps and jerks a bit and the pedal reflects it. I know the rotors are warped on it and im at a loss at how it happened so early on. I just don't know whether it is the front ones or rear.

Very unusual defect for a C-Class. Rather common for the industry. Years of maximizing the profits by minimizing the material spec have led to rotors which warp under normal use. It used to be that only hard abuse or getting them wet when superheated would warp rotors. Not anymore.
It was a recurring problem with my Saturn, my Honda(junk rotors), and we had one bout of it with our Jeep. Jeep replaced the rotors with new ones, supposedly from the next model year(dealer said changes were made---whatever) - no problems at all since.
