2012 brake squeaks?
I have about 750 miles and 6 weeks on my 2012 CLS63. About a week ago I started noticing a low level squeaking from the breaks at low speeds right before stop. Its not a high pitch sound like one hears when pads are starting to go but more like a steel on steel bad lubrication sound. Anyone else have a similar problem? I know I should just take it the dealer but I just had it there 2 weeks ago for a tire replace as a result of a nail through my sidewall and am trying to avoid an additional visit before my 1875 LSD fluid change. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Mine has a pretty standard brake squeal if the brakes are not up to temp. Can't help if it's not that typical squeal.

Brake squeaks sometimes are normal and come and go. I had race brake pads on my Brembo's (other car) and they squeaked like crazy. That was normal due to the aggressive compound. I put street pads on and it went away, sometimes the squeak will come and go.
Another solution might be to get the car up to a good speed and apply strong brake force. Do this a few times and it should get rid of the squeak. Of course to it in a safe and isolated area.
