I own a 2002 Mercedes Benz s430 and Feb. 2010 the "airmatic system" warning light came on. There are only 43,000 miles on my car. The dealer wants close to $1000 to put a 'kit" on to replace the failing seals on the airmatic struts, which the mfg has since changed the design and offered recalls on other models. I have not driven the car since as I was told if the pump burns up from the air leaking out the suspension will drop the car, causing the car to be undrivable, and it could be dangerous if the car is in motion. I have 2 children and can not take the chance.

The airmatic system on my Mercedes Benz s-500 has failed for a second time. The car-body dropped and is resting on the tires, making it impossible to operate the vehicle.

Incident one: 1. While driving in atlanta, GA in February of 2007. The front airmatic suspension failed while crossing an "inactive" railroad track. Just imagine if it was active. Mercedes-benz towed the car and replaced the defect. 2. A few days ago, I'm driving on a 40 mph speed limit road and my car starts to lower. Again. I was lucky that no one was behind me, otherwise it could have had a different outcome. How many times will someone need to report this "safety hazard" to the national highway and traffic safety administration. Does someone need to die, in order to be heard? please help me. I cannot afford to have the car I purchased, as the salesman said, "the safest car on the road," become the reason for serious injury or even death to me and others. Thank you, I hope you'll contact me within a reasonable amount of time. We need to be heard. We want you to do something, because it will make us feel that you genuinely car about listening and creating action on these complaints. What does it cost you to recall something? I know what it'll cost me or the public if you don't.
