2007 MERCEDES-BENZ R350

WHILE DRIVING THE ESP/ABS LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING AND A THE CAR MADE A BEEPING SOUND. THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND A MESSAGE STATING "DRIVE DIRECTLY TO THE WORKSHOP WITHOUT SWITCHING GEARS," POPPED UP. I STOPPED THE CAR AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND THERE WAS NO LIGHT FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES OF DRIVING, THEN THE LIGHTS BEGAN AGAIN ABS/ESP AND FLASHING INOPERATIVE LIGHT. I DROVE THE CAR HOME AS IT WAS SCHEDULED FOR AN APPOINTMENT THE FOLLOWING MORNING. THE NEXT MORNING I TRIED STARTING THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START AND STARTED BEEPING INCESSANTLY. THE CAR WAS INOPERATIVE AND WOULD NOT START OR CRANK. I HAD TO CALL MERCEDES BENZ ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO TRANSPORT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS FOUNDED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WAS A WIRING SENSOR PROBLEM CAUSING INACCURATE SIGNALS TO BE SENT TO THE ENGINE.

JUST BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE ON 11/2014 ITS A 2007 MERCEDES R350 WOKE UP ONE MORNING AND THE VEHICLE WAS LEANING TO THE LEFT THE FRONT OF THE LEFT PASSENGER SIDE WAS EXTREMELY LOW. IT'S VERY LOW AND IS NOT DRIVABLE. NO WARNINGS. THIS SITUATION IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND THE MANUFACTURE NEEDS TO FIX THE ISSUES. *TR

THE REAR SUSPENSION BEGAN TO PRODUCE A HISSING NOISE UPON PARKING. THE NEXT TIME WHILE DRIVING A LOUD RELEASE OF AIR WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE AND THE REAR END OF THE CAR SLAMMED TO THE GROUND. NOW I HAVE TO HAVE THE REAR SUSPENSION REPLACED. THIS SUDDEN FAILURE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY IN UNFAVORABLE WEATHER CONDITIONS, COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. REPORTS OF PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRMATIC SYSTEM ARE ABUNDANT AND NOT JUST ISOLATED TO MY AND YEAR OF CAR. IN FACT MB IS CURRENTLY IN A CLASS ACTION LITIGATION REGARDING THE AIRMATIC SUSPENSION IN THEIR GL LINE OF CARS. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM TO BE SYSTEMIC AND SHOULD BE RESOLVED BY MB TO HELP ASSURE THE SAFETY OF THOSE THAT DRIVE THEIR VEHICLES. *TR
