Brake wear
Just curious as to how many miles folks are getting between brake jobs on their GLK's.
At 37,000 miles, the brakes on my GLK are still smooth and even. However, one or more of the brakes started squeaking periodically a few months ago. I took a close look at all of the discs and they look really good.
I'm taking the car in next week to have it checked, or possibly a complete brake job performed.

Just took my 2014 GLK350 into the dealer. Rotors are warped and the front driver side pad is down to metal on metal. I did not get the brake pad sensor alert like I have on my other Mercedes. Mileage is 29,500, which seems way to low for the way this car is driven.

I took my GLK-350 in and good news. No brake job needed. The front rotor pads measured 8mm and the rear pads measured 10mm. Discs are smooth and vibration free.
Meanwhile, my wife still hears a little squeak every now and then. I can't hear it, so not going to worry about it.

Just pickup a CPO GLK few weeks ago. 1st time owning a Benz but not a newbie to them since family hv Benz before. However am a newbie to SUV/mini SUV. Just wondering are the brakes and the bite do they seem to have a softer feel and grip? Is it in general with all newer Mercedes and or SUV since fam hv C, E, CLK and all have firm brakes
