Anonymous, CA (2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC GLC300 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"After about 6 months of ownership, the brakes would squeak. This persisted off and on for the next 18 months. The dealership performed under warranty brake work over this period, but the problem continued. Mostly when backing out of the garage in the morning, then OK for the rest of the day. Then after almost 2 years the squeaking stopped. This has been the case for the past 2 months. Hope that it continues!"
Anonymous, AB (2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC GLC300 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Brakes squealed when stopping/slowing at slow speed. Mercedes admitted that this has become a known problem in cold climates (I live in Minnesota). They initially told me that they were working on a solution. After about 4 months, they notified me that they were prepared to replace the brake component that was the problem, I took the car in and they did. No squealing since, and there was no charge for the repair"

"The brakes emitting a very loud screech during the winter; mostly if below freezing. It was so bad that people turned to look. MERCEDES-BENZ finally agreed to replace the brake pads which seems to have fixed the problem"
