Still fighting the brake pad problem

Hi fellow drivers. I haven't been in this forum for a while and so I missed probably most of the brake pad discussion. A month ago, I had my 300 srt-8 at the dealership to replace the pads and fix the rotors. When I picked the car up, the rotor were nicely re-worked, lokked like new.
Guess what, four weeks later the exact same problem came back. Rotor look chewed up again with deep grooves all over and dust is bulding like before.
Did the dealer replace the old "race" pads with the identical pads (rather than using the newely released more moderate pads), or do the new "moderate" pads create the exact same problem....
I made the service guy aware of the recall and actually printed the mod-document out
Any advise would be highly appreciated
All the best
Patrik

FreebirdSRT8's right. Get your name on the list for the next shipment and all your brake issues will be a thing of the past.
