The airmatic suspension has malfunctioned! The air springs started deflating over night sometimes just on other nights all them and then other nights not at all now they will not inflate at all and is undrivable. Also the cooling fan runs constantly if the car is running!
In many mercedes benz vehicles with air ride suspension the "air struts" fail. This happened to mine. It can happen while sitting still or while driving at any speed on the roads. The dashboard goes red and tells you to stop driving as the suspension has gone too low. My suspension went all the way down and the front end was only a couple of inches off the ground. Very dangerous, at speeds of 70 MPH on the interstate this could cause catastrophic issues. Mercedes benz has know about these problems for over a decade and still use these parts. Why has nothing been done about this? This is a very dangerous safety issue, that could cause death or serious injury to the driver, occupant, or others on the road.
My car drops over night. Some days my front would drop to the floor. Some days my rear and some days the whole car will be on the floor.
The rear suspension air bags, solenoid distribution valve and airmatic compressor require replacement according to the mercedes dealership service department. Rear suspension drops nearly to the ground while vehicle is stationary and vehicle is unsafe to operate.
Airmatic suspension failure. Car has excessive lowering after overnight period of sitting and uneven ride.
Rear suspension drops overnight when temperature drops 45f. Multiple times during winter. Not seen during summer.

Tapping in the front shock air l r
Previously my rear struts were replaced and now my front right is defective and needs replacing.
My rear suspension has been dropping overnight for the last 2 years
W212 2010 e550 (40k miles). As many of you know they're a fantastic car, however with a lousy air suspension! The car would drop overnight making it look like a low rider.
Airbag system is malfunctioning causing car to drop to unsafe driving levels. Red light stays on on my dash saying car to low pull over.. Why mercedes, why?
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 mercedes benz e550. While driving approximately 55 MPH, the warning suspension danger indicator illuminated. The contact maneuver to the side of the road to a complete stop. The vehicle was repaired by an independent mechanic.. The details of the repairs were unknown. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000.
Front air struts suspension failed when car isn't in use. The car was parked in the garage and got down. Part # 212-320-31-38 part # 212-320-32-38 there are a lot of incidents or concern reported with this specific mercedes benz air suspension system. Mercedes benz not cover this issue by manufacture defective or by warranty. Each air strut list price cost is $3,598.41 for a total quantity for the set $7,196.82 + tax + installation cost. Incredible and ridiculous highly cost for an air struts set replacement. Please investigate it. I consider that this type of suspension is with a kind of fabric defect not recognize yet by mercedes benz.
Air suspension is leaking air over a couple of days.
This my second vehicle from mb and again one with air suspension. This time this car is only 5 years old with less than 50k miles and the air suspension is going out, even though the front suspension had already been replaced, left and right, at only 43k miles. This air suspension is a lemon product and I demand all w212 air suspension owners e550, e63amg to report this issue to get resolved.
