Strut Failure Problems of Mercedes Benz E500

The suspension , namely the airmatic struts fail on the E500 . Mercedes has know about this for years. I had an s500 that had the same problem. This needs to be check into, while driving the car will bottom out , tires on the frame. The aromatic struts fail and make car un drivable. Very costly repair.

Mercedes benz 2005 E500 front airmatic strut failure. While driving the car, the passenger front end suddenly drop and car veer to right side. Fortunately, there wasn't any car on the right side and I avoid the crash. I stop the car on the side of road and found out the front tire is all the way down and rear driver side is way up. Exact same failure on front left side occurred around 35,000 miles.

Mercedes benz E500 airmatic strut collapse. Low mileage: 43000 at time of failure. Driving at highway speed when strut failed. Car leaned to right & made an emergency stop. Mercedes benz charged $1100 for replacement part, I installed. It appears to be a design flaw: protective bellows fails & contaminates air bag.
