How reliable are the braking systems of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class under Pakistan’s driving conditions?

Detail:
Owners occasionally report brake performance issues such as noise, reduced responsiveness, o r premature wear. Factors like dusty and uneven roads, heavy traffic stop-and-go driving, and infrequent brake servicing contribute to these problems, affecting overall safety.

Braking system reliability is generally high, but challenges include:

Dust and Dirt: Road dust can accumulate on brake components, causing noise and reduced effectiveness.

Stop-and-Go Traffic: Frequent braking in congested traffic increases wear on pads and rotors.

Infrequent Servicing: Delayed brake fluid changes and inspections reduce system responsiveness.

Uneven Roads: Rough roads cause uneven wear on braking parts and suspension components affecting braking.

Quality of Replacement Parts: Use of non-genuine brake pads o r discs can compromise performance.

Routine brake inspections, timely part replacements, and using genuine components ensure consistent braking safety.
