VW Brake Disks Worn Out AFTER 11 000 KM!!!!!!

I have purchased a brand new VW Polo 1.0 TSI Comfortline in Feb of this year. After driving the car for a few months now I noticed that there is a very bad shake on my Steering wheel when braking and it started to get worse and I decided to do rotation of my tires and do Balancing to see if this might resolve the problem I am experiencing, but it did not and I realized that this is an bigger problem than what I thought, so I decided to book my car in at Strijdom Park in Ferndale.

This car has 11 000 KM on it so it is still brand new. After my car was booked in, they test drove my car and experienced the same issue I have experienced. The phoned me to confirm that it is my Brake Disks that is worn and needs to be replaced and that I have to pay for this.

I am not very happy about this as I have been a client of VW for 10 years and not one of my other cars I had to replace Brake Disks in my time driving them. Now I have a brand new Polo and 11 000 Km in I have to replace the Brake Disks not brake Pads. This was a cost that I had to cover from my own pocket as they said this is not covered by the Warranty. I have spoken to a lot of family and friends that also drives VW and they also said that brake Disks should not get worn out so Quick.

Now I want to know is this a standard issue with the new Polo 1.0 TSI or is this a factory fault and if it is I am wondering what else is going to pop up?

If this is a standard issue, this will mean I will be paying every few months a R1700+- to replace Brake Disks(NOT BRAKE PADS, but DISKS)

I would not recommend anyone to purchase this car from any dealership as you will be paying R1700+- for just Brake Disks that will be worn out in 11 000 Km and I will be taking this to Social Media as well, as I believe that Brake Disks are not suppose to be worn out before Brake Pads. Also if this is due to Driving poorly, I would gladly invite any of your staff to come and rive around with me so they can see I am not someone that brakes hard or drive recklessly.

This should have been covered by the Warranty of my car and I am very unhappy about this and like I said I will take this matter to Social Media.
