| Description of the problem | Just woke up one morning, i went to start my car and noticed that it was leaning to the passenger side. I went to a private mechanic and he stated that the lower sensor needed to be repaired, so we did that, it cost around $350 for labor and part. I drove the car a couple of days and same problem. So the following day i went to mercedes dealer and they told me that the suspension arms needed to be replaced, so we fixed that which cost about $600. They also, mentioned that there may be an air bag leak, but the work for that was around $910. I declined. So, six days later my car is leaning to the passenger side again. I went back to the dealer and the only thing they could tell me is that i have to dish out more money because now both of the air bags were leaking and now it would cost $1800. I am extremely frustrated. Because they obviously can not pin point the exact problem. My car is not under warranty anymore. How much should i have to pay for them taking guesses. I also noticed that my friend who has the same car has had the same problem, not to mention rare people i don't know who have the same car i have noticed driving on the street and their car was leaning to one side. There is obviously some faulty work that mercedes did when they put this car together. Reading from your website there are many testimonials of this problem. This needs to be a recall for the m350 mercedes. ## vin passed ## |
