Does anyone else’s have squeaky brakes?

Thought I would get some suggestions from the forum.

If I apply the breaks slightly to slow down the breaks squeak. It’s not a loud squeak just something that I notice as well as some other drivers around me when I slow down.

It stops when I apply more force on the breaks.

I have taken to the dealer and they said everything checked out mechanically. They also told me that it was normal for the AMG breaks to squeak and I should not be concerned.

I’m not concerned about the squeak but it is annoying!

Have you tried braking hard/hard gas/braking hard???

when i did this my squeek disappeared for several weeks but is back now. there is a technique that is described for new brakes which can be found on many auto forums. i didn't do i hard enough for it to work permanently.

i think my brakes squeaked when i first got the car. i would recommend doing some hard braking from 65-0 but don't come to a complete stop. do this a couple of times and the squeaking should go away. after you do this, drive the car around a little to cool down the brakes. worse thing to do is to completely stop with hot brakes.

My car has AMG brakes. You should get your dealer to remove your breaks and install brakes. Problem solved.

I'm currently having the exact same problem! I tried bedding the brakes by slamming on the brakes from about 80mph to 20mph at least 3 or 4 times, that solved the problem because the brakes got warmed up. However, as soon as it cooled, the squeaking came back again. Note: the weather has been around 30 degrees F over here as daytime highs, so the freezing temperature will definitely make your brakes squeak as well.

I took it into a dealership last week and had a master mechanic check it out. He said it was normal because of the nature of our cars--high performance, big hp, big brakes. Just as a comparison, he said 911 Turbos' carbon ceramic brakes are scary to drive early in the morning when they're cold because they would slip until they're fully warmed up.

He said to drive it a few more hundred miles and if it continues, he'll replace some pads for me to see if it'll fix the problem.

Also, my squeak seems to come from the rear passenger side brake.

How can you own a Mercedes and not even spell brakes properly. Im horrible at spelling, but come on.

If your brakes are squealing excessively, take it to the dealership, they will replace them under warranty.
