When I park the car the passenger side goes down. When I open the door to get in, I can hear and see that side pump up to normal....I have 60,000+ miles and out of warranty...ugh!

I'd be getting that looked at pretty fast before the air compressor burns out due to excessive operation.

Could be a leak from the strut or the valve block. The ML airmatic is much easier to diagnose for leaks than other models.

Bringing it in this week they also have to replace a part on order for the rear hatch which has failed 3 times also.

I also noticed when accelerating from a stop to the left the ESP activates. Also when I corner hard to the left it limits my speed. I think the problem is with the passenger side rear strut.

OK, took it in and it was a air hose fitting on the front strut which was leaking, they fixed it and it is fine now. They are also trying to do it as "good will" no charge to me.

Am I missing something--why is this not 100% warranty work?
