| Description of the problem | The brakes squeal very loud and i am constantly having to brake hard several times to make this noise temporarily go away. I have taken it to mercedes and they say that this is not under warranty. I took the suv once early on after the car was purchased. The dealer told me to brake hard a few times and this would go away. It didn't i took the car three times to the dealer until finally they replaced the rear brake pads but tried to charge me for it. The brakes continued to squeal. I took it to and independent garage to have the pads replaced at my own expense since mercedes doesn't know how to fix the problem. Now the brakes are still squealing and are very annoying. If i do not get this fixed, i'll never buy another mercedes. This only happens when moving and brakes are usually cold but sometimes it squeals regardless if it is cold or not. Very annoying problem. |
