“Just purchased this 2008 E550 with 100k miles on it. It was inspected and said to be a great maintained vehicle with no issues. I was driving on a city street and a red indicator light came on telling me stop car too low. Car was in sport mode with the vehicle raised button indicator light on. I drove back to my house and parked the vehicle, as it sat for an approximate 1 hour I noticed it drop significantly. I turned the vehicle on too see if it would raise again and the compressor was still working but no movement was happening. …”
