I'm glad to hear they fixed the problem for you. I hope everybody else with this problem is encouraged by this news! Just thinking about squealing brakes makes me cringe :-/ I have 10,000 miles on my 2020 G 63, and (I hope I don't jinx things) no brake squealing at all.

Can you post a link to the video of your brakes squealing? I looked through all the posts, and I didn't see a link to your video. Maybe I missed it??

 

I didn't want to put MB on full blast mode on the forums so I didn't post it.

Let them know how pleased you are that your dealer changed out the pads and rotors to silence the brakes on your $200,000 Mercedes-Benz.

 

Update as of 3/19/2021

I just got back my 2021 g63 from the dealer. The work order stated they changed front and rear pads with the "new style" so far the squeaking is gone and I feel like a normal person again.

 

Congrats! It feels good. I have coined a phrase I call PTSBD aka Post Traumatic Stress Break Disorder. Every time you hear a break squeal for the next few weeks you will wince.

 

So was the "new style" brakes covered under warranty or did you end up paying the $2200 for new pads on the front and rear? Pads and Rotors are like $11k.

 

$0 Everything was covered under warranty

 

2021 G550 here....

Just passed 3,000 miles and brakes are squealing bad.

Same as others on here, happens when coming slowing to a stop.

I have a X5M that is my wife’s daily driver...I told her to put up with it because it is a high performance ride...I guess I am eating my words now....however, my G has a warranty. Lol

Anyway, I am not sure if the 2021 brakes will make a difference, as I am guessing mine has those parts.

Brake squeal, exhaust rattle, and a couple interior rattles....I love my G, but would love it more if the issues were resolved....

 

Almost 4k miles on my 2020 G550 and never a peep out of the brakes...dead quiet in and out.

 

I'm at about 9K miles / 18 months on my 2019 G550, and same here - no brake noise. If anyone knows if the MB p/n's are viewable on the rotor, caliper and pad w/o disassembly, I'll pull a wheel off and advise what mine is built with. Maybe there are some bad blood combos.

 

My work order shows Mercedes referred back to the bulletin which fixed the issue https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/20...83247-9999.pdf

 

Interesting that this TSB identifies noise as possibly coming from the pad-caliper mating surface and prescribes a bonding adhesive fix.

Thanks for this! Mine have been squealing for a while on my '21. I'm at 3400 miles now. Going to the dealer for a few other things, will mention this.

 

went to daily for my G63 service A... no fix for squeaky brakes.

 

Are you saying you complained and the service manager told you there's no fix for it?

 

correct. dealer said known issue on 63 and no fix is adequate yet... who knows.

 

I have the details on my work order showing the parts that they changed. Ever since nothing nothing but quiet brakes. Another member messaged me with the same issue as yours, once they showed the details from my work order they were able to figure it out.

 

fantastic. can you PM me? how long was job?

 

Would you mind sharing your work order details with me as well. My 2020 G63 squeals constantly and would so love the dealer to be able to address.

 

Could you please share the work order with me as well? I’m on the same boat, dealer said there’s no fix for it. The squealing drives me crazy. Thank you!

 

I took the snippets from the work order for your reference. They changed the front and back pads, I hope this helps you out.

Front Pads




Rear Pads

Mercedes Manhattan took about 2 days.
