What owners wrote
Problems with the airmatic suspension. The hydraulic system malfunctions and causes your vehicle to lean to one side at this point your turn radius is hindered severely.you also now are only able to drive at a low rate of speed,so hopefully you are not on a major highway when this happens.I know 3 different persons besides myself who have had this issue, and thankfully this major malfunction has not caused any traffic/injury incidents.this seems to be a major flaw in which can cause serious repercussions.
While on a road trip I started getting the red light that asked me to stop car to low. I stopped and it pumped up again. Drove a couple of miles and it did same thing. Took to mb dealer they said it was the suspension and charged me around 1200.00. 2 days later same problem it had not been fixed. I need to return and have them re-check. I heard negative feed back about this car from day 1.
