| Description of the problem | I have a mercedes-benz e-class cdi that has a defect in the braking system. This is not a safety issue, but rather the brakes make a high pitched squeaking noise when applied. I have been told that this is a known problem in germany and that the noise cannot be fixed. This problem began within 1 month of the purchase of this vehicle. Purchase date 4-29-05 |
