Regular grep does not cope well with control characters. Those look like basically text files anyway, except they have DOS line endings; you can convert them to Unix line endings with unix2dos or a similar utility.

grep is inherently line-oriented; if the input is not "lines", it's not clear what it should print even if it finds a match.

To find files containing ctrl-M, try something like

perl -ne 'if (m/\r/) { print "$ARGV\n"; close ARGV }' *
