So far, I've had the rotors and brakes replaced, but that only lasted a day or 2. Back in the shop now and I'm not sure what they are doing.

Wasn't sure if it was fully addressed but would it be better with ceramic brakes?
Truth is, all large perforated rotor brakes will present this issue at some point, ceramic or steel. I really can't think of anything that the shop can do to alleviate it. It used to happen to my brakes quite often and I would just slam on them from 60 or so to make it go away. Lately it seems to happen very rarely, mostly when the brakes are wet and now it goes away on its own after a while.
