Mercedes Gl450 the front end started riding low after driving it and would then adjust itself, which was very noticeable not the minute amount is supposed to do just for aerodynamics. Then it started out low from a parking position and once on the road it would raise a little to where it was drivable that went on for two days I had an appointment to get it inspected and on the third day the front end just lowered itself and the whole car was very unstable jumped up and down because of tbe great difference between the front and back I was driving on a one lane road on a mountainous region which is where I live and had nowhere to pull over. I made it after driving at 30 mph on a 45 mph zone, front air suspension struts that were leaking and told me this car was notorious for this problem.

Upon purchasing this car 4/8/2013 I have been burdened with replacing the front aromatic suspensions. Then the air comprosseror that supplies air to the suspensions, and now the back suspensions are giving up. I don't feel safe in this car, nor I think Mercedes Benz dealer in foothill ranch, CA cares as they know the poor production on these gl-450.

Were told by a mechanic at betten imports in grand rapids, mi, that the suspension was stuck in the 'low' position, causing the tires to become cupped and pitted. After keeping the vehicle for one week, betten's service manager said that it was bad tires and not the suspension. Only all season tires available for this body type are not adequate for winter driving, and make driving this vehicle in any precipitation hazardous. Driver had ups driver training experience, as well as, on the road sales driving experience. Vehicle bounces around the road and tires become cupped and pitted. Driver did not have these issues with any previous vehicle. Had to replace the tires three times before 44000 miles. We are not sure if this is really an issue with the tires, or if there is a suspension issue with this vehicle, specifically, or the model of this vehicle, in general. Very unsafe to drive in the winter.

We have taken this vehicle to the dealer service numerous time complaining some weird noise coming from the left front side of the vehicle and a bumpy ride. Left vehicle with dealer service at least 8 times for the same problem but never fixed. Right before my warranty expired in December 2012; I took it back to the dealer for the same issue and asked them to completely inspect the vehicle for any problems needing repair before the warranty expires. The dealer service found no issues and were not able to resolve the issue of bumpy ride; asked us to replace tires (we were told the same 3 times previously and we replaced tires each time but never fixed the problem) and we replace all four tires the fourth time in 4 years. Picked up the car and noticed no of the issues were resolved; and the warranty eventually expired. Took it back to the dealer for maintenance and they gave mean an estimate of around $1800 for bad left-front strut. They advised me that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. The vehicle is still at the dealer workshop.
