How does Agility Controls works in ML350 2012

Hello,
i am seeking for opinion if i will need to change my chocks absorber or there is kind of electronic controlling it for the stability control?.

i suddenly experience the loss of Stability in my vehicle on all the 4 tires and making the SUV to bounce and even tilt a bit while overtaking another car, its moves like paper as if it does not have any weight any longer. i have tries to read about the operation of the suspension but not certain if there is a form of electronic controlling the agility systems in the SUV. the SUV has done average 25,000 miles

I would take it to the dealer ASAP and see if your vehicle has thrown any error codes. Sound like a rather unpleasant experience.

Hello Greg, i already taken it to Dealer and they confirmed that the Electronic system did not generate any code except low fuel pressure, they advice me that the back shock is not ok and recommended it for change, they also confirmed that the front shock is OK but i was not satisfy because they were not able to tell me how the chocks work and how suddenly i lost 4 chocks at the same time.
i just wish to know how this systems works so that i will not made mistake of purchasing a new chocks.

ML350 2012 model
Hello All, i need help.
when i purchased my 2012 ML350, the driving experience has been wonderful in the sense that, i never experience waiving or any form of bouncing of body with the slightest bumps during high speed, the Chock stiffen up and make the vehicle very stable. but now, the chock refused to stiffen up at high speed, the vehicle wave like a boat on the river any time i drive over bumps or over take another car.
i have taken this car to mercedez benz local workshop and they could not see any thing from electronic troubleshoot, they had recommended i changed my Chock wish i did to a brand new chock, the experience still remain the same. the problem started when the insurance company decided to put tracker on the vehicle and i had requested the tracking be removed, even after the removal, the problem still remain there.
any one with this experience should help me out, please note that this chock is basically manual and does not have any form of wire connection but they wrote on the body that the chock is semi active. this car has done less than 20,000 miles.
I need help and advice on how this issue can be resolve.

Regards
