Both sides? They have independent sensors, so not likely both of them went bad at the same time.
You need to fire-up SD for troubleshooting.

You mean it's sitting at raised position and won't lower when the ride height button near the shift lever is toggled? Does the red LED light come on and stay on when that button is toggled? Or it doesn't lower from raised position at speeds above 70 MPH?

Is the back ride height normal? Doers the rear raise when the ride height button near the shift lever is toggled? Clarification please.

It kind of makes you not want to take the time to help out new people. So many ask a question and usually don't give enough info, never to be heard from again. Why even bother to spend the time, especially if it takes some research.

Seems some folks will "shot gun" a question across as many forums as they can. Have they no couth?

I for one am very thankful that there are many helpful Mercedes owners and mechanics on this forum. I try to help out in a professional manner when I can and maybe sneak a laugh or two in the mix.

Excuse me for not responding to your advice.
My car is now in a mechanic shop. I did not have the place and the time to try to settle the car. I am counting on your attention.

What exactly is the car doing? Your original post doesn't really tell us anything.
