| Description of the problem | After replacing the left side suspension airbag the day before, i noticed my car leaning to the right side as i got into it after using it once after being repaired. No warning indicator came on when i started the car. I was concerned making turns in this situation but managed to make it home. I brought the car in for service because it was obviously unsafe to drive. After replacing the suspension air compressor 3 months earlier, the left side air bag the day before, i was told that the right side suspension air bag had failed. Mercedes will not cover this repair and will not recall this known condition without being forced. They should be forced since many people are having this problem. I have had a problem with this suspension system 3 times. |
