Crown Eurocars of Dublin
Dealership Service Review
I have a new 2015 C300 sedan. The brakes are very loud (this is an understatement). This car is a complete embarrassment to own and drive. I've been driving Mercedes since 1991. At this point this will most likely be my last. The answer is that this is an engineering problem and nothing can be done. An excerpt from the email I received regarding the noise from Seth Kinniard, manager of service at Crown Mercedes, is as follows. "...Its interesting to me how noisy great brakes are. We put our children in buses with squeaking brakes, 80,000 pound trucks have squeaking brakes, and every airplane Ive been on has had squeaking brakes. Any car manufacturer that has high performance brakes deals with the reverse engineering it takes to make great brakes quiet. This was never an issue when asbestos was used , but we know where that left us, and metal is the best replacement for the friction and heat that is created..." I do not think my brakes are loud because they are "great" nor do I find this response acceptable. I cannot recommend Crown or the 2015 C300 Sedan based on my experience.
