Input needed regarding noise when turning wheel
Hey!
I was test driving a Certified 2022 Mercedes E450 4matic sedan and noticed while reversing when I turned the wheel all the way to one side there was a loud rubbing/grinding kind of noise towards the end of the turn when the brake was pressed. When asked I was told this was normal. Does anyone else also hear that kind of noise in their car?
They put 2 new front tires which are the right size.

Please share any experiences or input regarding this. Thanks in advance!

That's not a normal sound.
What you're hearing is likely the brake pads shifting in the caliper bracket during a tight, low-speed turn. It's a common noise on many modern Mercedes, especially the W213 E-Class.
While it's not usually a sign of a serious problem, it can be annoying. A dealer can sometimes fix it with special lubricant or shims on the brake pads. Since it's a CPO car, I'd ask them to check it out.
