2014 GL450
Airmatic suspension

My 2014 GL450 level drops low at the rear driver side when parked but rises back up as soon as a door opens or when I remotely unlock the vehicle. This happens when parked overnight or sometimes even when parked at the grocery store; however, there's no error indicator on the dashboard. Any ideas?

Leak in the air spring. If you have the external air tanks (for comfort mode) it is usually the hose connecting the air spring to the external air reservoir. If you don't have the external air reservoir, could be a leak in the rubber bladder.

You have a leak of some kind, have it check out. Most likely your rear air spring.
