Description of the problem	Airmatic suspension dropped while driving on the highway. Red light warning flashed that vehicle was low. Tried to raise car but it would not raise. Car was very close to ground and would not raise.. Began looking up, if other same models as ours have this problem and they do. Read several consumers compliants/ concerns who also own a mercedes benz they seem to have this similar problem. It's very expensive to fix at a dearlership. Looks like this vehicle may have a problem/defect with their airmatic suspension and it is very dangerous driving on the highway unknowing that your vehicle is dropping to ground. This really needs to be investigated to see if there is a problem with their airmatic suspension before someone gets hurt or killed while driving.
