C43 Brake Issue!!!!
I've had my car for about three months now. I've put 3300 miles so far and I'm starting to hear my brakes squeak. Anyone having the same problem? What should I do?

Not sure if same issue but my brakes started squeaking and I gave the calipers and rotor area a good power wash and cleaning and it solved the problem.

It's not uncommon. There are several posts/threads about this. Unless you're feeling something odd in the pedal, are hearing grinding noises, or are getting a light on the dash, nothing to worry about. Somewhat typical on performance oriented brakes.

Unless you hear and feel a grinding noise then its time to change them.

FYI, brakes are fully warrantied for 2 years. Even if you use them up, they'll change them before 24 months.
Since they're AMG brakes, the procedure requires a road test and post-test verification so they may keep the car for two days.

Same issue comes up every so often. I wrote a post that someone responded to but typically for new cars with performance brakes there is a bedding process for the brakes in order to break them in, helps them squeal less.
Perhaps you can dig up those old post and find the person who responded.

I don’t know about base models but all AMG cars have brakes under standard warranty for the first 24 months. That being said, I only know this about Canadian cars. Warranty in other countries may be different.
