I feel your pain. My brakes have been squeaking and it's been a nightmare getting them to stop. $700 later and they finally shut up. I had to replace all rotors and brake pads at the same time. When replaced separately, one surface (pad or rotor) will be uneven and ruin the other one that's brand new thus creating the everlasting squeak. Maybe look at Acura's or Lexus' for your next purchase. Just as nice without so many issues.

Have you tried a different M/B shop? They'd be MORE than happy to show up the other shop. New brakes that squeal are due to lazy "technicians"

Just for fun do this. Go test drive a KIA Optima. No really. Your going to be very pleasantly surprised. It may not have the cachet of opulence you desire but go drive one anyway. Go on.

I am in the process of trading my Mercedes c300 for a more reliable luxury car. I have only had the car for 10 months and have experienced squeaky brake issues. I have had my car serviced 4 times within the past 5 months at a Mercedes dealer and every serviceman tells me that the squeaking is normal when braking and taking off. I have had the brakes replaced and still hear the squeaking. I really love Mercedes Benz but the squeaking is really bothering me. I would like to stick with the similar lineup as Mercedes but a more reliable, less maintenance car. Any suggestions based on experience are welcome
