Service Brakes

Filed Dec 2, 2019300 milesAK

A FEW WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE THE BRAKES STARTED SQUEAKING. I MENTIONED THIS TO ONE OF THE SERVICE PEOPLE AND SHE SUGGESTED IT MIGHT BE A SMALL STONE. IT CONTINUED TO SQUEAK AND THEN IT STARTED SCREECHING. PEOPLE IN THE PARKING LOT AND AT HOME ASKED ME IF I WAS REALLY DRIVING A MERCEDES-BENZ. THE BRAKES WERE CHANGED EVENTUALLY AND THE SERVICE GENTLEMAN SAID IT WOULDN'T HELP AS IT WOULD START AGAIN. TRUE TO HIS WORD. THEY ARE SCREECHING AGAIN. IT'S EMBARRASSING TO SAY THE LEAST AND IT DEFINITIVELY HURTS OUR EARS. I HAVE HAD 4 MB'S AND I HAVE TO SAY I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. SHAME ON YOU!

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
