Is Squeaking Noise a Common Issue with Mercedes-Benz?

[MatteoRose]

Mercedes-Benz brake squeaking was indeed a quite common issue in recent years. Generally, the first step when encountering brake noise is to visit an authorized 4S dealership for resolution. If the vehicle is still under warranty, repairs can typically be performed free of charge. 1. There are several reasons that may cause brake squeaking: The brake pads may be made of overly hard material, resulting in noise when rubbing against the brake discs; uneven brake discs can also lead to squeaking issues; and worn-out brake pads nearing the end of their lifespan may produce noise as well. 2. Warranty information: According to relevant regulations, the minimum warranty period for passenger vehicles is no less than 3 years or 60,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. If the mileage does not exceed the warranty limit within one year and the squeaking involves non-wear-and-tear components, it should fall under warranty coverage. Damage caused by human factors or other reasons is not covered by the warranty.

I've been driving Mercedes-Benz cars for over a decade and have noticed that abnormal noises do occur, especially in older models or high-mileage vehicles, such as creaking sounds caused by aging suspension systems or loose interior components. New cars rarely have such issues. As a luxury brand, Mercedes-Benz has high overall reliability, but any mechanical system will experience wear and tear—this isn't particularly common. Some owners on forums have shared that specific models like the C-Class or E-Class might have minor defects leading to noises, but most cases stem from neglected maintenance. I recommend regular checks on tires and lubricating joint components to reduce noise. Overall, abnormal noises are isolated incidents—not every Mercedes-Benz has them, and new car owners can generally drive with peace of mind.

Having worked in the auto repair industry for so many years, I've seen quite a few Mercedes-Benz owners coming in for rattling noises. It's usually cars that have been driven for three to five years or more, with noises caused by aging suspension shock absorbers, interior clips, or engine components. New cars rarely have this issue—Mercedes' quality control is still pretty good. Rattling isn't super common, as there haven't been widespread reports, but ignoring it could turn into a big problem, like chassis issues. Maintenance is key—keeping up with scheduled servicing and replacing parts prevents it. I usually advise owners to check door hinges and the shock absorber system; a small investment can fix it.

I just bought a Mercedes-Benz GLC not long ago, and my friends mentioned their cars also have similar strange noises, like the squeaking sound when the interior trim is loose. It depends on the model—new cars are less likely to have it, but older ones are more prone. I don’t think it’s too common, as there isn’t much discussion about it on forums. The cause could be poor road conditions or improper maintenance, such as tire wear. Fortunately, the repair is simple—just go to the shop to adjust the interior trim or check the suspension. The Mercedes drives comfortably and safely, so this minor issue isn’t a big deal—just keep an eye on it.
