Headrest Issue :(((

I went to go clean my S550 today and give it a nice wash. When I went to clean the interior, I noticed that the driver's side headrest was broken in that it wasn't going up and down with the button (the circuit was there as it barely moved up or down). When I tried adjusting the passenger headrest from the same driver's control, the passenger's head rest moved up or down normally. What's wrong with my headrest?!

Also, I got my brakes done 6,000 miles ago and they are squeaking....BADLY. What should I do?

Thanks

I'm also having some problems with my headrest. Whenever i go over a pothole my seats tend to make an annoying sound like it's loose and also there is always a funny sound from where the speedometer is. Anyone's input on this issues will be highly appreciated before I make a trip to the dealer.

Dealer will need to diagnose headrest malfunction under warranty. For brake squeal if dealer replaced brake components less than one year ago, they should revisit at no cost mention bulletin LI42.10-P-048677 for front and/or LI42.10-P-048624 for rear.

Seat noises “may” be caused by seat rail (bulletin P-B-91.10/147) and/or storage container (P-B-91.10/165); instrument cluster “may” be panel (P-B-68.10/65a).
