I feel like you've got to get the dealer to handle this. Maybe you could heat up the pads first, then immediately take them out for a drive with you...? It's just feels dumb for you to have to troubleshoot a car for them that you *just* bought. That's their job.
In fact, with brakes, I'm thinking that I'd actually write them formally notifying them that you have a serious brake issue, and that you need it to be fixed. Brakes are a massive liability to your safety and to the safety of others. I think that formally making them understand their liability might help them get their act together. After all, you are driving the car as designed, and the brakes are failing in some anomalous way - that should concern them. I would send the letter via certified mail, just so they realize how seriously you take this.
I'm definitely curious what the final issue turns out to be...
