I've always had that problem from day one.
I Asked the dealer, he told me it was dirt in the brakes!!
I live on a dirt road!!!!
ps. had car for 12mths now, 5 flat tyres including the space saver once.
I'm so glad i brought that 5th tyre, its a shame i dont have any room for alot for luggage.

I am sure they used that excuse too. What a bunch of morons. I mean, does the stealer actually think that we are just wallets walking around with no brains and will accept anything they say?

my 63 brakes squeel on and off, sometimes they dont at all soon after startup, sometimes they dont when they are 'warm'. Other times they squeel all day long. I dont get it and find it very surprising. Dealer told me that after 1000km or so the brakes would bed in and not squeel, then i was told its because there was no asbestos - guess that means every other car must still have asbestos in the brakes cause my xar squeels like a ***** pig - for me its a bit of a disgrace to have a beautiful car that squeels like some dodgy old heap of ****. we can put a man on the moon but cant make brakes that dont squeel - give me a break

drive faster stop harder.
Mine squeal very little. I do tend to drive it like I stole it and the odd little squeak I hear goes away with a few good stops. Maybe I'm just one of the lucky ones. Try running it up to 70mph and stomp on the brakes once or twice. It may just help a bit. These brakes are so big the rotors are often cool after some sedate city driving where average cars would be really hot. Seems like these brakes need to be worked a bit.

Squeeky Brakes
The brakes have squeeled/squeaked from day 1 on both my previous '04 E55 AMG as well as my current '07 ML63 AMG. I have given up asking the Dealer to attempt to fix them since it always comes back..... (WTF?) It was worse on the E55 but still rather disconcerting at the least and rather embarrasing when making a "grand entrance" in front of friends and business associates. The snide comments about the break squeals are starting to get old, especially from my die-hard BMW owner friends...

Dont forget that most dealers will replace rotors and pads (in Canada anyway) before the two years, 40k km expires if you go in complaining of noisy brakes. This is speaking from experience.
