Airmatic Suspension sprung a leak and could not be driven safely due to the vehicle getting severely low where the tire and rim tucked into the wheel well. When the airmatic suspension fails the vehicle can get so low that it can scrape the roadway, hit bumps and damage parts under which can dislodge and cause an severe accident or pile up. Requesting a Nationwide Recall on all Mercedes-Benz vehicles equipped with Airmatic Suspension.

THE CAR FIRST STARTED TO STOP INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING AT ALL AT THE TRAFFIC INTERSECTION, THEN I WAS ABLE TO START IT AGAIN AFTER SHUTTING EVERY THING DOWN. THEN A MONTH LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN BUT THIS TIME I WAS NOT ABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN. THIS COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY SITUATION IF THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. MERCEDES ONLY PROVIDED TEMPORARY SOLUTION BY REPLACING THE CAR HYBRID INVERTER POWER ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT THROUGH A CAMPAIGN BULLETIN 2012080004. THIS BULLETIN APPLIES TO MERCEDES S400, 2010-2012 YEAR MODEL. HOWEVER, THE MAIN PROBLEM STILL REMAINS AND POSES A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR ALL THE DRIVER AND PASSENGE
