With only 800 miles,I have been having the same issues while backing out of my garage. The noise is so loud. My car has been sitting in the garage for three weeks so maybe because it was sitting for so long the brakes would squeak? I contacted my service advisor he told me to bring it in for a look.

Is there interest in an AMG spec'd big brake kit? I can help.

2013 S 550 4 matic all four wheels screeching ! when I slow down and gently hit the brakes to a gradual stop.... The dealer stated it was pads, change all four good for 2 days. Then dealer changed the rotors on all four good for 300 miles ... This is very frustrating.

Is your car a W221 or W222?

So your brakes are still relatively new?

Find a highway late at night and bed them, might work

You're right. That was my mistake.

Yes it's a 221. I'm surprised that you are also experiencing brake squealing. I though that this was only a common issue for the W222? Looks like I was wrong?!

My car starting screeching at 12,000 miles. Dealer told me I needed new brakes and rotors in the front?? I expressed my displeasure/shock and he said "the S Class uses high performance brakes - not unusual they go after 10,000 miles."

If that is true, I'm heading back to my LS 460 when this lease is up. That is nuts. What's more crazy is they wanted $1300 for new brakes/rotors in the front. Told them a big NO. Have other's had these experiences and these crazy prices? Haven't gotten a chance to call midas.

I'm sure their line will be not defective -- wear and tear. Maybe I need to try a different dealer.

I must say, I find the service to be quite lacking. I took my car to a different dealer for the 10,000 mile service and they made I seem like they were doing me a favor. And this dealer is trying to hustle me

i have been complaining about the squealing brakes since 2,500 miles. I am hoping that they will do something about it tomorrow at the service department. I am at 15,000 miles not and 24 months.

We will see.

For free? My dealer did something that made it worse and now reuses to call me back -- very impressive service
