“My 2008 mercedes benz CL550 is having a problem with brake. There is a thug-thug sound when I press down on the brake pedal. It goes away ~2 seconds after the gear is put into parking or neutral position. Mercedes benz knows about the problem and they told me that there is another car, a s class, that is having a same problem. S class is 4 door version of cl class.
