E350 4 Matic Wagon
Break pedal squeak

I have a 2016 e class 4 door sedan and my wife a 4 matic awd wagon.
both of them when you release the brake when stopping make a intermittent squeaking noise heard in the cabin- sounding like it’s the brake pedal.
my service tech has applied lubricant and it helps but does not eliminate the problem.
have any other forum members experienced the same problem and any suggestions?
Thanks

Did you just happen to get new brakes and rotors? Mine squeaked like a mf until about 500 miles after. Granted they are not OEM (Yellowstuff track brakes), same concept applies.

If the lube helps, that's the problem. Add more til it's gone.

Brakes on my C-Class squeaked exactly as you describe. Haven't gotten it yet on the E, but I fully expect to in the future. Lube is your friend.

if it is the PEDAL that is squeaking rather than the wheel brakes, then more lube applied to the squeaking parts would be in order.
