Drive Dynamic Multi Contour Seats '08 S550

I have a 2008 S550 with the massage seats. I set the seat for their air settings and start the massage feature. All is well on massage until suddenly all air chambers deflate and the seats go flat. I can not reset the feature at all as the setting revert to zero immediately. I let the car sit overnight and when I get in the car in the morning the massage works again with the original settings. The same thing happens time and time again. No one has heard of this or has a fix. Particularly aggravating is when the air chambers deflate so do the lumbar settings. The problem is on both the driver and the passenger's seats.

I spoke to MBUSA and the dealer and all they say is they have never heard of this before. I pulled the fuse and put the same fuse back in and the seats worked. I am not going to do that every day. The problem started the first day I bought the car a month ago.

Help.

the pinnacle of driving

performance/luxury,but not without a few glitches.iv'e never owned a new MB but imagine the dealer trying to troubleshoot an intermittent complex computer/module controlled accessory like this one.patience will prevail,consider making a dvd of the issue while it occurs.it gives the techs somthing to validate the issue.or ask the "factory" for a $2k gas card and you will deal with the inop seat upgrade.if you dont select the massage function does the seat still deflate?
