+1 You just don't see spoke failure on a modern bike even the cheapest ones unless the wheel was badly undertrued and lose or something else is causing the spoke failures such as a RD or other part hitting the spokes. If it less than 2 years old you should consider taking it back to the people that sold you the bike and ask them to fix it for free.
