| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The brakes have a loud piercing screech when brakes are applied. It started out as an occasional noise and now it is constant. I have contacted mb customer service as well as the dealership where i purchased my vehicle. All admit that mb is aware of the issue but have no fix or solution. It is well documented with several complaints on all of mb social media sites. I am being told this is not a safety issue and the vehicle is " safe " to drive but this is unacceptable and i am afraid to drive my vehicle now especially traveling on the freeway because my brakes scream whenever they are applied. |
