Consumer Description
AIR SUSPENSION APPEARS TO BE LEAKING. AFTER SITTING IN MY GARAGE OVERNIGHT THE BODY OF THE 2011 MERCEDES E550 IS LOWERED BY ALMOST 2 INCHES. WHEN I START THE CAR AFTER SITTING LESS THAN 24 HOURS, A PROMPT ON THE DASH INFORMATION SCREEN INDICATES "VEHICLE RISING, PLEASE WAIT". THE MERCEDES HAS JUST OVER 64,000 MILES. IN RESEARCH OF THE ISSUE, IT APPEARS TO BE A CHRONIC MALFUNCTION WITH THE W212 MERCEDES AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM, AS WELL AS SEVERAL HUNDRED TO 1-2 THOUSAND DOLLAR REPAIR.
