| Component | SUSPENSION |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Airmatic suspension has failed countless times... Fixed under warranty then failed again... Suspension fails when the car is off, then slowly raises itself when the vehicle is unlocked and started... Dealer said there was nothing else they old do since they have replaced parts already and recommended i just continue to deal with the lowering suspension issue until it just does not raise up anymore. Not the answer i expected from a mercedes benz dealer. |
