Why my $177,000 2015 S63 Coupe the German sports-car maker's top-of-the-line, crazy expensive and possessed of one quality that drove everybody who rode in the machine absolutely nuts. Why is the $10,000 carbon ceramic brakes squealed like a poorly maintained diesel city bus?
And how can I fix that? Dealer said it is normal for that type of breaks. Is that possible?

Bed in your brakes, Google it

Others reported this removed the squeak

But I thought the newer gen CCBs didn't have this problem anymore

One should bed in the brakes when they are still new, if he has some significant miles already (a couple Ks), it may be too late.

Mercedes is aware of this as there is an open bulletin that states a repair is in the process. Whatever the repair is it should be out by the end of the year.

yeah same here, when i asked the service/cust. rep. I been told its a race car, it's normal....now whenever i hear a car with brake squeak, my brother and I joke around "RACE CAR"....

Incredible that Benz has to make an open TSB/recall for performance brakes squealing.. This is why they shouldnt offer these packages without educating their buyers. Race pad material and CCBs are prone to squeal especially when cold. Its nature of the beast.

We have XT910 compound well tested on Carbon Ceramic Brakes, good stopping, no squeak. Although the pad shape for CCM may need to be tooled.
