any one having problems with getting this fixed under warranty? At my 3000 mile check up, i told the service advisor about the brake squeal and then at the end they said: We had the brakes checked and they are perfectly normal, this is how high performance brakes sound

My God, it's about time MB finally admitted that brake squeal of this level is not normal. You guys cannot imagine the ***** I had to go through with MB to replace my rotors and pads in order to stop the school bus squeal. On my 04 500 coupe they had to replace one side of the fronts twice within a week as the new rotor was out of spec which caused a slight vibration and the squeal. I recently had the squeal with my 07 997S and Porsche stepped up to the plate and replaced my rotors and pads but they are very reluctant to do it and also like to say it's normal. Unfortunately, with all the cost cutting going on these days the quality control has suffered in many areas.

, does anyone know if he is feeding me another line? FYI, I am in Canada and I bought the car from a Canadian dealer. He said he did speak with shop foreman who has a few ideas from MB Canada on how to deal with the issue. Car is going in tomorrow, I will wait and see.

I picked up my 07 E63 from the dealer a few weeks ago and brakes started to squeak (on lite application), called the SA Manager and they gave me the standard line - high performance brakes squeak. Then I found this thread and forwarded it to him, he said the parts and memo related to US cars only, does anyone know if he is feeding me another line? FYI, I am in Canada and I bought the car from a Canadian dealer. He said he did speak with shop foreman who has a few ideas from MB Canada on how to deal with the issue. Car is going in tomorrow, I will wait and see.

Everything has been perfect for the last 500 miles...hope it stays this way.

Brakes Update
Finally had my car in for servicing. I was advised that my front brakes had the new pads in, but the back did not. Had the car for a few days, no noise yet, I will keep everyone updated.

i had my brakes swapped out back in september 07 as a courtesy. however, im reading on this post that the DTB info got revised in december 2007? Does that mean i am qualified to get my brakes replaced? im tired of this annoying squeal that did not get fixed from my first swap out. not to mention the run around i get from each dealer that says AMG brakes are meant to squeal...
