FYI MB warranty covers brakes for 12 months/ 12,000 miles whichever comes first.

Ha - very funny timing. I was just logging in to rant about this.
Same thing. 9000 miles. '12 CLS63. Squealing. I brought it in today. They told me the problem was that the brake pads were DRY... and they would take them off and soak them for $291. Not under warranty.
Ridiculous. I feel like every time I deal with MB service it is another junior-varsity move like this. Don't they just understand the 'dont bother a customer with such an asinine thing' factor? It's embarassing.

I never heard of dry brakes? Whatever the problem is it should be covered under the warranty!!!!

Don't forget to top up your headlight fluid when you get your pads soaked.

It seems that we are the only things getting soaked
