4th trip to Stealership

[BenzE500]

After my third visit to the dealership they finally fixed my squeaky breaks on my 2009 E350 by replacing the front brakes with new ones. 2 months later they are squeaking again. What should I do?

I had the same problem with a squeal after doing a brake job and got rid of the squealing noise by following the attached document, courtesy of Marcus and others! One time should be enough, but sometimes it takes two... or three in the worst cases.

There is a brake pad paste that must be applied to the back of the new brake pads... I am assuming that the Dealer followed the correct procedure!

By the way, if the rotors were not changed, the brakes need to be applied hard for the first 100 miles... otherwise, pussy footing the brake will make them squeal like a mouse being chased by a cat!

Good luck...

Squeaking breaks! Holy cow How many breaks did they find?

Try washing the car and the wheels, BRAKES will squeak when you allow excess dust to accumulate which results in a high resonance chatter from lifting of the pads contact with the rotor aka Squeaking...

Yes, it is always useful to know what the Dealer says to justify whatever they will do or don't do when you complain to them!

I think I know what they are going to say, but I am always open to something new...
