Problem overview

Some Mercedes-Benz E400 owners report experiencing vibrations during braking, which may be due to warped rotors. This issue can cause the brake pads to grab inconsistently, leading to noticeable vibrations. If the rotors were in good condition before storage but now show signs of warping, owners might need to consider resurfacing or shimming the rotors to resolve the problem. In cases where the rotors are significantly warped or damaged, replacing them may be necessary to ensure smooth braking performance. Additionally, some owners find it essential to inspect other brake components, such as pads and calipers, to prevent further issues. If vibrations persist after these measures, seeking a professional technician's assessment is advisable for a thorough diagnosis and solution. Promptly addressing warped rotor issues is crucial for restoring braking performance and ensuring safe driving.
