I have a 2019 E450 Cab…. I have similar but opposite issue…. I have a very annoying squeal but not when stopping, but when starting to move from a stop. It’s really embarrassing. I’ve had it in the shop three times and they give me BS lines like “it’s supposed to do this”. I don’t buy it

Did you try other dealerships?

Hissing Breaks

2. I didn’t get navigation on this. Can this feature we unlocked at a third party repair shop?

Thanks!
Hi there, my 2021 E53 (C238) has a hissing sound from the brakes, like yours, it does it after a few minutes of driving, when applying the brake softly and not all the time, or when is raining. I’ve find it very weird and unusual for a new vehicle. I also heard that that’s normal for a performance vehicle.

I thought that was normal for a garbage truck.

My cars with Brembo brakes never had a hissing problem.

Were you able to find a fix?

Any luck with the MB Lounge?

Thx.

Hi. I’m going on 7 months of the brake chirping from day 1 of buying my new E53 Cabriolet. After many service visits, my local dealer replaced the rotors and the brake pads and the chirps are still there. I have been told that the MB head office has been informed and is working on modified brake pads. Several E53 owners apparently have voiced similar problems so it seems the MB head office should be aware. I am going to wait another couple of months as I have been told the modified brakes are in process.

Nothing from AMG lounge. The thread was moved to and has more feedback in AMG W213.

Hello and thank you for responding.
At least your dealer made an effort to correct the problem. Mine said it was normal.
That’s awesome that MB is working on the issue.
I’m not the only one that hears this break hissing when the traffic stops.
Other drivers do too…just like the garbage trucks next to me. LOL.

Hopefully, they’ll fix this issue for us, who already took delivery.

Pleas keep me posted, when your vehicle is repaired, so I can make my move to have mine repaired as well.

Thanks again and have a good day!

The squeal problem was resolved with new brake carriers.

2021 E53 coupe
[QUOTE=e53midS;8481422]大家好。我刚买了这辆新车,但有两个问题:

1. 底盘和刹车发出吱吱声。我把它拿回给经销商,他们说他们去掉了一些石头。底盘不再吱吱作响,但当我轻轻刹车 时,刹车仍然吱吱作响。看视频。关于垫或转子是否有缺陷的任何想法?


2. 我没有得到导航。我们可以在第三方维修店解锁此功能吗?

谢谢![/QUOTE

I have the same problem, Have you solved this problem?

On the annoying brake squeak I just brought the car in to the service center. It’s disappointing that on a brand new car I have to hear this every time I gently brake. Let’s see what they can do. It’s not a good feeling.
soon China will take that from you too. Emigrate bust thing you could do
