Everybody knows and complains about brake squeaking... I have a 08 CLS550 and I had this problem always... At 12 kmiles the dealer in Seattle changed the pads (under warranty) cause they ran out. After 3 months squeaking is back. Took it to the dealer in Bellevue, WA and they told me it has to do with the driving, I am too soft on brakes. I told them I ran out the pads in 12kmiles. Then they told me I am too harsh on the brakes...
Anybody fixed it somehow? Any suggestions? Different pads?

thanks

They changed the pads because they ran out under warranty, first 12 months.

My '09's brakes were squealing 30 days after purchase - dealer can't find anything wrong, and says some brake squeal is "normal". I wondered if replacement would yield the same problem eventually, and you have just presented it. Not happy about the noise (it doesn't happen every stop thankfully), but I doubt I will buy another MB

Def should be warranty, PM me and I'll forward you the bulletin PDF.

EVERY NON-AMG CLS HAS OR WILL EVENTUALLY HAVE THE "BREAK SQUEAK" PROBLEM.

why? I thought brake squeal was common across the mb car lines
