#2 of 5 Expensive brake service by shanchen72 Dec 29, 2008 (1:23 pm)
Sorry for the double post, still in sticker shock...   I was quoted $1400 for brake pads and rotors, in addition to the $700 oil change (service B plus brake fluid flush).   Anyone can share some input on the services required for leased MB?   Thanks.

#4 of 5 Brake issue by spiege Jul 30, 2009 (12:53 pm)
My wife's R-class has 24,000 miles and she is not an aggressive driver. The brake light came on to check the linings and pads. Is that unusal to need brakes at 24000 miles? We also have had alight tell us that a brake lamp was out and tire pressure low. Could all of this possibly be false readings? Replies to this message: ctdan (Jul 31, 2009 3:30 am)

Replying to: spiege (Jul 30, 2009 12:53 pm) We had some random warning lights go on within the first 10k miles and they all turned out to be false warnings that required the replacement of some electrical sensors...not a big deal, all under warranty.   Although after about 15k the tire pressure indicator would not turn off and it turned out that all 4 tires needed to be replaced (described in a prior post). If I were you I'd bring it into the dealership to get diagnosed and either bring your checkbook and prepare for the worst, or find out what it needs and go to a local reputable shop and save about 50%. Good luck!
