What owners wrote
Brakes on 2006 mbz cls 500. Replaced twice with brand new brakes from mbz dealer, drove less than 3000 miles, brakes squeak like a train three weeks after each installation. Dealer wants to wash their hands by saying its normal. How can brand new brakes squeak twice after new replacement and very few miles of driving? They really need a check up and recall. Its ridiculous for new brakes to squeak that loud, you can hear me from another corner.
