Sqeaky brakes on the C43
Hello! I have been enjoying my C43 since last September (except for the random squeak and rattle in the interior of the car - which my dealership fixed by putting lube on some stuff and replacing an a/c vent) the brakes have been squeaky lately when I apply them on low speed.
The dealership cleaned the wheels and the brakes for me and it went away, until a week or so later when I heard random (more minor compared to previously) squeals again.
Do you guys have the same problem? Is there a solution? I bought a can of brakes cleaning spray and spray it from time to time these days it seems to help - but I am not sure if that's a good solution.
It's also my first time having a car with large brakes so I do not know if they squeal more often than small brakes that are not perforated.
Thanks!

Same here, 2017 C43 sedan, with squeaky breaks in very low speeds since new, now about 5k miles. I recently removed the squeak by power breaking a couple of times, for a few days, squeak did not returned...

I've been told that would work coz it burns whatever sand and crap on the discs. I don't know where I can power brake though without someone crashing into me from the back

my brakes have started squeaking lately, similar situation .. low speeds. I was wondering if the extreme cold weather might be a culprit.
8000 miles seems like an odd time to start squeaking
annoying

Squeaky breaks are very common on performance cars; from what I can tell, there is no major issue with brake noise. And it typically only occurs at low speeds (especially cold)

Bedding in of new brakes is often accompanied by noise, but the high pitch squeak or squeal is caused by vibration. There are several remedies for this but the noise itself, although irritating, dies. It typically represent a serious problem. There are adhesive like products which can be applied to the pads to stop them from vibrating and reducing the squeak. The dealer should be able to handle it.
