Airmatic suspension is decided to take a vacation....
Woke up last Friday morning with a non-operating airmatic suspension. The entire car was slammed to the ground......no dash warnings or anything.....the suspension just doesn't respond when trying to raise it. The vehicle drove fine the night before.....no indication I had any issues what so ever. I guess it decided to crap out on me while it was parked in the garage over night. I had the car tolled to my MB dealership to have it checked out on the 23rd. 27k miles on the ride. I'm guessing it's a faulty pre-fuse box that I've read can cause this issue. I'll probably hear something from MB sometime next week. I'm already having CLS withdraws. Anyone have a similar experience with their airmatic?

Just an update......it was a bad pre-fuse box that was ultimately the culprit. The dealership also replaced my two rear air springs since they believe it was damaged when the car was slammed to the ground.....no damage to the fronts. The rear air springs I believe are priced around $750 a piece from the dealership so x2 plus labor. The pre-fuse box is around $180 for the part + labor. Everything was fixed under warranty.
