My suspension is horrible!! without warning my s430 airmatic light displayed "visit workshop", I pulled over and noticed my vehicle was riding extremely low. . . Almost touching my front and back tires. Furthermore, there is a rubbing sound when the wheels are being turned. I contacted 4 dealers and they all claimed the suspension and/or airmatic system has been a common problem . . . My concern is why wasn't I notified about a recall? secondly, after scheduling an appointment for this week, mb is claiming that I will be charged for service a. This is unbelievable>>>why is mercedes loosing their reputation for poor customer service? please contact me. . . I need my vehicle in operable condition and will expect to be reimbursed by mercedes once this recall matter is approved and/or active. I'm glad to know that NHTSA cares. . . Thank you.

In April 2007 I noticed the car dropping and the hissing sound of air when the car was parked and turned off. On April 12, 2007 the car dropped extremely close to the tires and I was forced to it for repair since my car is my livelihood. I was told my rear suspension compressor and front suspension on one side needed replacing along with the r/f strut costing me a total of $2086. 00. I hope that I will be reimbursed for something that could have been very tragic. To this date there still seems to be a problem with suspension as I had to take the car back to the shop in December 2007 and a hose was replaced.
