2000 Mercedes-Benz S430 Suspension Problems

“Message in display airmatic visit workshop. Diagnosed automatic strut leak. Replaced strut assembly left rear & valve block suspension valve. I still hear air leaking. I've replaces all four air struts over the years. The struts are not cheap. In my opinion mercedes mfg should reimburse me total cost for all four. I'm sure you agree!”

“While driving 70 MPH on the freeway my car all of a sudden flashed a red warning saying stop car warning do not drive car to low the car started dropping to the road rubbing tires. I immediately had to cut traffic and pull to the right to get out the way of moving vehicles. This is an extremely scary tragic and hazard! I am in the process of taking it to the shop now to see exactly the problem. Beware”

“The whole car was laying on the floor and. The red light flashed on the dashboard that said stop car too low , because of how low it was the tires were rubbing on the fender and caused the tires to ball up ,I. Got the car towed to mercedes benz dealer and got the airmatic system fixed a year later the exact same thing happens and the didn't want to fix it.”

“Traveling with a family of four, the car lowered completely to ground and caused to almost spin out of control it was the airmatic shocks almost $ 2,000 in repairs...now recently is dropping constantly while driving researched and found hundreds upon hundreds of people that have had the same issues including one that lost control due to front air shock sudden drop mercedes acknowledge the problem as a continuous problem with these models.”
