Did some research looks like it shouldn't be making that noise. Leaning towards a bad break booster downside is $499 new..

Maybe take it to a Mercedes Mechanic and let him hear it. See what he says.

Re: Break NIGHTMARE! (pedal squishy & traveling)

I believe this is solved thank you everyone that put their thoughts together! The end of the day I had seized calipers in the rear that where shot, and the fronts where slightly seized I regreased and reinstalled and everything seems to be back to normal! Also believe I had a bad master cylinder but cannot confirm. After general maintenance bench bleeding the master etc everything seems to be back to normal.
