2012 Mercedes benz GL450 Suspension Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1379003
Internal NHTSA #	10990521
Manufacurer	Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC.
Brand	MERCEDES BENZ
Model	GL450
Model Year	2012
File date	15/06/16
Component	SUSPENSION
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	At 80k miles the front air suspension started leaking and i had them replaced at a cost $2414. 42. I was always worried that next was the back suspension and this is now true that i have to do the same for the rear air suspension and i can estimate based on the last repair price that perhaps will be paying another $2500. I have spoken to various people with the same type of cars whom i met with flattened air suspensions and did not know why their car suspensions were leaking. At least it would be good if mercedes could provide us with metal alternatives because do think in the next 2 to 3 years, i will be replacing them again and again. Please help, this does not seem right or even fair to have leaking suspension.
