Description of the problem	I purchased a brand new 2016 mercedes benz glc300 in december of 2015. Over the past 6 months, the vehicle has begun making a terrible screeching noise when i lightly press the brakes while in reverse. The noise has gotten so loud and painful to the ear that i reflexively take my foot of the brakes causing me to roll backwards faster than necessary. I recently took the vehicle in for its 10,000 mile service during which i indicated that the car was making a "screeching" noise while in reverse with the brakes applied lightly ("feathering"). I was told by the service technician that mercedes was aware of the issue and will issue guidance soon. I was given my vehicle back with no temporary solution whatsoever. Since owning the vehicle (about a year with 10,000 miles), i have received no communication from mercedes about the issue although they have been aware of the "screeching noise" for quite some time. I would like to note that the screeching noise is getting so bad that it is truly painful to anyone inside the vehicle (almost as if i had no brake pads!). I called mercedes today and they again told me that they are aware of the issue. I asked the rep to note my complaint and issue me an email confirming my complaint for my records - he refused. Apparently mercedes does not provide email confirmation of complaints to customers who have issues in order for the information "to not go public." please someone at nhtsa - look into this. They need to be held accountable. Thank you so much for your time!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
