What owners wrote

This my second vehicle from mb and again one with air suspension. This time this car is only 5 years old with less than 50k miles and the air suspension is going out, even though the front suspension had already been replaced, left and right, at only 43k miles. This air suspension is a lemon product and I demand all w212 air suspension owners e550, e63amg to report this issue to get resolved.

Reported at 49,600 miles, December 2014

The rear suspension air bags, solenoid distribution valve and airmatic compressor require replacement according to the mercedes dealership service department. Rear suspension drops nearly to the ground while vehicle is stationary and vehicle is unsafe to operate.
