What owners report

  • Raw fuel smell when vehicle is at idle. Breaks are very loud at low temperatures. Very squeaky like metal on metal yet the brakes are like new from Mercedes dealership.

    filed Jan 30, 2023

  • Continuous problem with brakes squealing very loud. Have had brake pads replaced and taken to dealership multiple times to no resolution. It is a huge problem with how loud it is not to mention unsafe and making me feel uneasy about them giving out at any time. This is ongoing from several years ago
