My car is an 2002 mercedes s430 airmatic system failure struts and pump first the struts failed in Nov 2008 which lowers the car on top of the tires and makes the car undriveable. Now in June 2009, the pump failed which lowered the car on top of the tires and makes and car undriveable. This is a serious safety problem. If this system fails while driving, the car and damage the tires and cause a blow-out result in an accident. These failures have been reported by many owners and have caused injuries and extensive costs to owners. Everyone considers these failures to be very premature in the life of the car. This is very wide spread.

I cannot believe that there is not or will not be a recall on the "suspension" issue. I too had the fate of my car collapsing on my way home from work-which is 35 miles away-it happened. On the dash it stated in bid bold letters "airmatic car too low". I pulled over and stepped out-my heart felt like it was going to come through my chest. Everyone in that situation understands just how I felt at that time. The front of the car was completely covering half of the front tires-if I turned the wheel it would have scraped the fenders. I left the car there overnite. The next day {Sunday} my partner's brother -who is a mechanic-went to retrieve my car not being familiarized with the mercedes brand he started the car and pushed every button on the dash-he called me telling me the car was fine it was "fine". He drove my car to my home-much to my puzzlement. The car looked normal. The next day on Monday I started the car and on the dash in big red letters airmatic . Though the car looked fine I saw on closer inspection that one side in front was sagging lower, to sum this up-got the car to the dealer and was told the " air was leaking out of the bags in the front suspension". That cost $1,000 to repair-I think its cheaper to pay that than the alternative. As I write I am furious yes- I have another appointment this coming Monday for my srs system. This is the second time. This time it has to do with the front passenger seat and the etr-they state there is a fault. I have to pay $540. 00 to have a safe car? this is the second time the srs light has come on-sounds kind of like the first time it happened too-only that was covered under warranty. I have 74,000 miles on this car. Whats going to happen next? mercedes submitted a video showing an S Class with a collapsed suspension showing that it was fit to be on the road along with other cars-people what are you thinking?this is supposed to be one of the safest cars on the road! that's why we bought it . And about the srs light?.

Air bag control unit failure. This is an electronic module that controls the air bag system. When this unit fails, the air bag system no longer will function. I believe that this item failed prematurely and should be covered under some warranty oe recalled, as this is a safety issue, and one would not expect this item to fail at such low mileage. The cost to replace is well over $1000. 00.
