Hi there! I'm hoping that someone can please help me....
I have a 2016 GLE 350d, and in March took it to my local Mercedes to have new brake pads. The first pads were great, stopped the car like you wouldn't believe, these new pads however have been a nightmare. Every 600-700 miles maximum the drilled holes on the discs are filling right up with brake dust and as they fill up the pedal becomes less responsive and the bite moves further down the pedal leaving a period of travel on the pedal before braking starts. I've taken it back to Mercedes, who have bled the brake lines again and they are saying theres no problem - but there is! Its brake related, and I worry having my 2 young children in the car that eventually they will just do nothing.
The old pads never caused those holes to fill up ever, so it must be related to these new pads somehow, I just have no idea how.
Could it be poor, cheap or faulty pads? Have they messed up the install? Please help me....
The one thing that strikes me is that if I brake hard, I mean emergency brake, it gets a little better temporarily before returning back to how they are.
I really am lost, I know theres a problem, and I know it isn't right, I just need a little direction from someone who knows what this is or may be.
Thankyou in advance for any help...
