One problem related to brake disc pads has been reported for the 2001 Mercedes Benz C Class. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
After leaving my 2001 clk320 mercedes at the dealership I was notified that my brake system was defective requiring pads/rotors and other related items along with the fact that every 1000 miles or so, a light bulb or something electrical will fail and I usually find the nearest dealership and get the problem fixed. The brake system (which is not under warranty) was the last straw! we are talking about a 50,000 dollar automobile with only a little over 17,000 miles on it.
