A couple of panic stops should not warp the rotors. I made panic stops (and starts) every day on my Honda Civic and it took 60,000 miles to warp the rotors. You should try to get new rotors from the dealer since your car is still under warranty. Turning them at 13K is too soon, and will only make them more prone to warpage (because of less mass). Your best bet is to install aftermarket rotors since Ford is too cheap with their iron.
