The issues regarding the mercedes airmatic suspension system have been widely known for years, and mercedes never made an effort to mitigate the mercedes loyal owners excessive expense to cover the repair.

It took breaking down off the highway with my children in the car to discover this problem. The suspension failed and the car could not be driven. A a tow was necessary and a huge repair bill followed.
