| Description of the problem | The brakes on my brand new 2013 mercedes benz ml 63 amg screetches/squeals when soft braking to a stop. I have been told by the mb dealer is westminster, co that this is normal and i need to brake hard in order to stop the noise. This awful noise did not happen when i first started driving it a few weeks ago. It started only recently and it is getting louder and louder when coming to a stop. This could be a potential defect waiting for a disaster. This shouldn't be happening to a car that is brand new and costs over $100,000. .. Updated 01/30/13 *bf the consumer stated this is not an issue. The brake noise is apparently normal for amg brakes. This is not a potential defect matter. Updated 2/4/2013 *js |
