Suspension Noise problems of the 2003 Mercedes Benz E500

Driving on city surface street. Came to four way stop. Heard a pop like that of a tire or balloon. Car stared to make whistling noise. Pulled over and saw left front air suspension strut bottomed out. Towed to dealer and advised that left front airmatic hydropnematic struct had failed. That air bladder had blown. Further that airmatic compressor was burned out. I had driven a total of 50 yards from blow out. Total parts and labor over $2,500. 00 from Mercedes Benz of walnut creek.
