That's an incredible amount of failure on one vehicle. (The ML). |
They do work really well, when they work. The ride and handling is great. I had the air suspension on my old '05 E500, and I felt it was a noticeably better ride than the spring suspension.
That being said, I never trusted it. It also made me nervous hearing the pump going at random times while the car was parked. I didn't want to keep owning the car out of warranty, mostly b/c of potential air suspension costs.
