Why does my Mercedes E-class have squeaky brakes?
Your car has less than 30,000 miles, and as you slow down steadily to a stop, you hear it—a squeal echoing from the brake pads. This might only occur when you lightly touch the brakes, or even when you slam on the pedal. Whatever the case may be, squeaky brakes do not belong in a Mercedes E-Class vehicle.

Why does my car make a squeaking noise when I put on the brakes?
The best way to avoid this type of noise is to choose quality brake pads. If your brakes are squeaking or squealing while driving down the road, but the noise goes away when you press on the brakes, I have a hunch that your brake wear indicator is hitting the rotor and causing the noise.
Why does my W212 make a squeaking noise?
Brake dust causes the rotors to squeak. When brake dust manages to form in-between the pads and rotor, the uneven surfaces will begin creating noise. W212s are prone to producing excessive brake dust as the brake dust is a by-product of the type of material used on the pads.
Why does my front brake make a grinding noise?
Brakes make grinding noise when applied – Pads are worn down and making metal to metal contact on your brake rotors. This is a real safety issue. Do not wait to get your brakes inspected and repaired. If it is front pads making the noise you may also see the brake pad warning light illuminating on your dash.
Why does my Mercedes clk350 make a growling sound?
I always use two feet when on the hill, the left on the brakes and right on the accelerator pedal to minimize the roll back. Frictional growling sound and feeling it in the steering wheel is bad… probably the brake pads dragging on the rotor. If it pulsates the steering wheel then the rotor is warped too.
What causes distortion in a Mercedes Benz clk350?
Holding the car, stationary, with the brakes on after a really hard stop (disks / rotors can be red hot!) can cause distortion as the brake cools unevenly.
Why does brake dust make my car Squeak?
Brake dust causes the rotors to squeak. When brake dust manages to form in-between the pads and rotor, the uneven surfaces will begin creating noise. W212s are prone to producing excessive brake dust as the brake dust is a by-product of the type of material used on the pads. Switching to quieter pads may reduce the dust and braking ability as well.
