| Description of the problem | I bought 2011 e550 base sedan last year. It had 25k miles on it, and 2 months later my rear suspension began leaking and cost me 2k in repairs. The car would leak out air from suspension over couple hours. Dealer or my aftermarket warranty wouldn't cover this problem because it's not on the contract, but i'm not the first one with this issue. We shouldn't be buying new airbag suspension on a car that haven't had the original tires replaced yet. |
