Brake Problem on new SL500?
I'm having a problem with my new SL500, when coming to a stop, alot of times I'll hear a grunt from the rear wheels and feel a little lunge foward, anyone having this problem?

I hear that every now and then depending on how hard I brake. I suspect it's the electronic brake by wire working?
Doesn't bother me too much.

SL 500 brake problems?
I have not encountered anything like you describe.
One time, driving very slowly on a very distressed asphaltic concrete surface, I thought I sensed a "pull to the right" just at the stopping point. It has not replicated that action ever(2,000 miles). Giff Albright of State College, PA

Maybe if you would stop being lazy and search the board you would find the answer. This has been posted before check this out

see now, it wasnt so hard to search that.

Sure thing simpleton. But I already read that post and tried that procedure. just got back from my dealer. There is a service advisory for this problem, breaks needed to be bled on a special sustem that does it in intervals...Right on the memo they made mention not to PUMP the break repeadedly to solve this problem as it costs caliper and rotor damage.
