ML 350 Suspension Problem!!

Hello. I drive a 2013 Ml350 4matic, and I have repeatedly run into the same suspension issue several times now. The issue is that the rear suspension will randomly malfunction and sit very low. One solution I had the most recent time was that I changed the air ride modules and that seemed to solve the solution.. so I thought. Last night it happened again and now not only is the rear sitting low, but passenger side it lower. So it is low and not even level. If someone has any knowledge on this please please please let me know. Any advice or opinions are welcome and helpful. Thanks in advance.

from what I've read the air suspension requires fairly extensive service as it gets older; given yours is ten years old likely a bad airbag or valve block. Need to correct this or the compressor will be the next casualty from overuse. You can search "airmatic" across all forums as the maintenance and repair issues aren't really model-specific. Here's one W166 DIY story:
