This Problem Across All Years
There is an ongoing issue with the front and rear air shocks. They don't inflate properly. Sometimes they inflate and sometimes they don't. This is a risk because my suspension system is not stable. The problem has been confirmed by Astorg Mercedes-Benz. Yes, the problem has been inspected by an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealership. There was no indication beit warning lamps, messages, etc., before the issue happened.

Driving Home Late Going 75 mph in Michigan when hitting brakes the car became unstable felt like it wanted to spin out of control. Hitting brakes at speeds above 30mph made car want to spin out of control.. Took car to MB dealer. Told them car was unsafe to drive and almost killed self hitting brakes.They test drove car and confirmed issue. MB mechanic put car on lift found the left control arm trailing arm bracket welds had rust of the rear suspension cross member subframe!! This has rendered car unsafe and Unoperational !! NHTSA needs to get involved force recall ! We are lucky to be alive!

Rear K Frame front part has completely rusted out. Mount ripped trail arm. Both rear tires were ready to shoot off. This was confirmed by a mechanic when the car was being serviced after the check engine light came on one day before taking it to be serviced. The car is not drivable. It only has 60,000 miles on it. It was always serviced at the Mercedes dealers. It appears as a defective part.

IN MANY MERCEDES BENZ VEHICLES WITH AIR RIDE SUSPENSION THE "AIR STRUTS" FAIL. THIS HAPPENED TO MINE. IT CAN HAPPEN WHILE SITTING STILL OR WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED ON THE ROADS. THE DASHBOARD GOES RED AND TELLS YOU TO STOP DRIVING AS THE SUSPENSION HAS GONE TOO LOW. MY SUSPENSION WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THE FRONT END WAS ONLY A COUPLE OF INCHES OFF THE GROUND. VERY DANGEROUS, AT SPEEDS OF 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE THIS COULD CAUSE CATASTROPHIC ISSUES. MERCEDES BENZ HAS KNOW ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS FOR OVER A DECADE AND STILL USE THESE PARTS. WHY HAS NOTHING BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS? THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE, THAT COULD CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY TO THE DRIVER, OCCUPANT, OR OTHERS ON THE ROAD.
