Mercedes Emergency Brake Repair - 2013 GLK 350

In this video I show how to fix a sticking emergency brake on certain Mercedes models. This should work across a few different types of cars, as long as the cable is accessible from the bottom near the brake pedal. All you need is WD40 and some plastic pry tools! I hope this saves you all some money on an unnecessarily costly repair!!

I can't thank you enough! We stopped using the e-brake on our 2015 GLK250 about 2 years ago because it wouldn't fully release and often the brake light would flicker on the dash even after we had pulled it all the way back with a hand or foot. We took it to the repair shop and they said it could NOT be adjusted and that we could either live with it or replace the whole assembly for about $800. After watching your video I did the lubrication - it didn't work right away - even after about 20-30 presses and releases it didn't seem to make a difference. I'm glad I didn't give up!!! After about the 40th time, it suddenly POPPED back! I couldn't believe it! It works PERFECTLY now! I really appreciate you showing how to fix this common problem!

love to hear it! Glad it worked and I could save you so money!

A quick and genius solution for my GLK 2013 with 258000 km//160000miles. I needed 15 minutes+3,5$. It works pefect. 👍Thanks from Germany Alex

I wanted to say that this video actually helped my 2014 GLK250. My parking break would get stuck and I would had to pull up with my hand with an extremely huge amount of force. Now after spraying some WD40 the pedal retracts just fine without any difficulties

[@AmrinDosanjh]

Glad to help!!

[@philistinic]

pretty satisfying to see you save 700 bucks! I'm sure the dealership would love to fix that for you. great results with wd40!

[@nurse2070]

You just saved me almost $800. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!! It worked immediately.

[@lindataff8214]

Emergency brake was stuck today. Watched this video and repeated the same steps. Problem fixed! Thank you!

OMG just bought a 2013 GLK 350 less than a week ago, and this is exactly the problem i have. I even freaked out when a friend of mine parked it engaged the brake and i could not get it to release fully and the light on dash stayed on! Thank you sooo much, i will try this tomorrow and will definitely update here... I subbed.. Thanks again for the video.

My Ebrake on my 2014 GLK has been bothering me for months. Tried this method and it works perfectly now. Thank you!

[@noobpies137]

Just wanted to come back and drop a comment. Did this on my new to me 2014 glk and after doing it several times it barely had a difference but after letting it sit a few hours it’s now working great! Thanks for the video!

[@FirestarterX3m]

My GLK brake started doing that since yesterday, I'm going to try this on my next day off.
Thanks!

I first used WD-40 with similar results. However, I read that silicone lubricant was better than WD-40 for lubrication for a longer-term fix. I repeated the process of lubrication a few days after using WD-40 on a 2016 E350 with silicone lubricant. Hoping it will last at least one year. Some websites suggest that silicone lubricant can last up to 15 years?! Not sure about that but in the immediate, either of these are OK to get the foot break to move faster. Good video.

This procedure worked on my 2014 E class. Thanks for making this helpful video.

[@iamlove9114]

I just want to thank you sooooo freaking much because I literally figured it out on my own by wiggling it with my feet ! And it like clicked back in place and the break went light went off

[@enricotosco2473]

I fixed it, thank you so much!

[@StevenHowellCarter]

Thank you for a practical tip. I've replaced the parking brake twice. Perhaps this will save me the high cost of a third replacement.
Note that the video is about the "parking brake" as noted by the "P" symbol on the handle and NOT an "emergency brake". This brake holds the vehicle in place when parked instead of relying solely on the transmission and the drivetrain. It has no use in an emergency.

[@RuthJoubert-s9h]

Thanks! This is great information, and I'm hoping that this fix works. Very easy video to follow.

[@AmrinDosanjh]

Thank you! Glad I could help :)

[@zokolbegani4753]

Nice Video!

[@qsanjoy]

Worked on my 2014 GLK350. Thanks!

[@Michael-Edition_C]

Your tip worked great, thank you very much!

[@johnminshell6532]

Looks like you cut away the Yrim Panel to gain access to the E Brake
Mine is stuck down hard and won't Release.

[@mariuszszymanski1447]

Thank you so much ... problem fixed

[@tedlu008]

Great video. Thanks a lot

[@hugecakefan]

Thank you! I just bought a 2013 and it has this issue. Any reason you wouldn’t use white lithium grease or a dry lube like graphite?

[@starkflynn]

What's up with the volvo, dude?

[@AmrinDosanjh]

More C30 Vids are on the way! If you have any requests let me know!
