2011 E550 4matic
sorry to activate a dormant thread, but i wanted to put in my two cents. I bought my 2011 E550 a little over a year ago with 10K on the clock. It had a moderate pulsing in the steering wheel upon braking. Dealer replaced pads and rotors. I have not had any more issues with pulsing, but now (about 8K miles later) I've developed a significant brake squeal. Not just when the humidity is right or just at very slow speed brake action, 10-20 MPH to stop. Nice, long steady squeal. I do brake jobs on cars all the time. This car is actually easy to replace pads and rotors. I feel I shouldn't have to, though, so it's back to the dealer. Otherwise, I love this damn car. It's beautiful and fun to drive. The brakes on this thing are starting to annoy me. I've only got 19K miles on it!
